I know that making a layout will take me a lot of time because I always tweak and tweak to no end. Changing colours, fonts, widths, placings.

Unfortunately the <abbr title=\"database\">db<\/abbr> at the dept. of computer studies is using Oracle &#8212; I&#8217;m more familiar with MySQL &#8212; but luckily I was just on a introduction to databases course where we learnt the Oracle syntax.
