I was going to agree with the original message (MV works with SQL DB, but
only if you follow a specific DB structure - stuff as much data in
'products' table).

Since you have almost everything working, could you maybe share the
ideas/experience/code?
Maybe you could make your flypage.html, basket.html, checkout.html, etc.
available on your site or on Minivend.com so that people like Paolo
Torricelli, me, and probably a lot of other quiet people on the list can see
and learn?

Do you think you could do that?

Thanks,
