Babase users are encouraged to ask questions, both on the Babase mailing list and on the mailing lists setup for questions on the software which Babase is made of. The article [[http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html|How to Ask Questions the Smart Way]] provides good information on how to get answers when writing public mailing lists. When asking SQL related question it will almost certainly be a good idea to include a reference to http://papio.biology.duke.edu/pocket_reference.pdf and the entity-relationship diagrams contained therein.
