> We a French non profit voluntary association that promotes ecological
> construction. We are funded by our members and do not accept advertising.
> We try to provide factual unbiased information.
> 
> We are looking for a solution (economical)  to put our ecological database
> (basically a catalogue) of products and service suppliers on the internet
> as a searchable database. The database is Oracle 7,3 done by a friend of a
> friend, but we cannot put it on the web, because of licensing costs and the
> developments costs required.

> Perhaps it may be able for us to modify Koha to do this with mysql?  I am
> unsure how much we can change it...  so this email.

> Our category listing is six layers deep, we have product information and
> service information and company information. We require multiple criteria
> searching for example:
> 
> 1. Select region      Departement, Region, France, Etranger/Foreign,
> Tout/All
> 
> for products manufactured in Germany but with a distributor in France the
> distributor would be listed and the fabricant referenced in the Company
> info query.
> 
> 2.a Select Category listing     Product   or   Service    ex.  Walls &
> Ceilings>Ceilings>Gypsum
> 
> or b. Product or Service name       eg Heraklith 2
> 
> or c.Company Name      eg BPB Placo the fabricant would be referenced in
> the the Company info report
> 
> 
> the listing for Items b. and c. would probably have to be generated on the
> fly from the database or easily updated every week. The category listing
> would be very rarely altered.
> 
> What do you think. We do not require client tracking, ordering, or visual
> images from a database it simply is a catalogue for unbiased (we think)
> information.
