Words to dread.

One minor issue is that the "fields" (corresponding to the columns of the Excel file) are slightly different from what we provided yesterday, so the website will need to be changed slightly to match what is contained here. I imagine this is easy to fix.

Don't know why I bothered - I spent quite a lot of the day today changing the db and the web pages to the fields they'd provided yesterday.

Then, following that, is: The slightly more complicated issue is that each entry (article) is often recorded in multiple rows of the spreadsheet.

Sigh.

"Um, yeah, no. Finalize your FECKING database design before you submit it to us, or you're personally responsible for billing on the change requests. Oh, and by the way, learn how to design a DB before you push this crap off on us. Kthxbye. Oh .. wait, while I have you on the phone .. you meant 'SQL tables', not 'Excel spreadsheets', right?"
