Thanks. I did take another quick look at Pro Drupal Dev and see I forgot<br>
the chapter on DBs. Must re-read.<br>
I would recommend this FREE online course at Stanford too.<br>
<a href="https://www.coursera.org/course/db" target="_blank">https://www.coursera.org/course/db</a><br>

&gt; It isn&#39;t that you can&#39;t, but that it may be easier to let Drupal do the<br>
&gt; functioning. I suppose another option would be to add an iframe to you<br>

&gt; (like a special page removing the sidebars/headers/footers/etc that you<br>

&gt; You could do as I said earlier, write some custom code to parse your<br>
&gt; blog&#39;s feed.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Another option would be to create a block in views, bootstrap Drupal<br>
&gt; from your home page and render that block. This could lead to some<br>
&gt; screwy problems though, especially with URLs (setting $base_url in<br>
&gt; settings might fix that). That can also lead to performance issues with<br>
&gt; caching and that.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; A simpler option would be to create a page in view of your latest posts<br>
&gt; and the information you want to appear in the block. Then use jQuery to<br>
&gt; load that on your main page, selecting out just the part of the DOM tree<br>
&gt; that has the actual list and injecting that into your site.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; A better option would be a custom module that generates an html page of<br>
&gt; your latest posts and saves it to the files system. Then you could<br>
&gt; include that as an iframe on your main page. That would by far be best<br>
&gt; performance wise and a lot more stable.  It&#39;s also not that hard of a<br>
&gt; module to write (a function to generate the HTML widget/list called on<br>
&gt; hook_node_save()).<br>

&gt; Drupal 7 Module Development has a couple of good chapters on developing<br>
&gt; modules that create and use entities, and there is another book out there<br>
&gt; on Drupal 7 Entities that I have yet to tackle.  I would also love to see<br>
&gt; something that shows how to implement &quot;No SQL&quot; high demand Databases like<br>
&gt; Mongo or Cassandra.  While I know I&#39;m missing lot&#39;s on these newer flavors<br>
&gt; of database systems, I can&#39;t help but wonder if Drupal will ever run on a<br>
&gt; &quot;No SQL&quot; platform, or if that is where we are all headed. First glance<br>
&gt; suggests that perhaps Entity Classes will provide the keys to<br>
&gt; transitioning.<br>

&gt; Exactly the first scenario.I have that book but it doesn&#39;t really go into<br>
&gt; the detail I need.  As you say it is a good start. But I need a good<br>
&gt; finish.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I have created a module with a form which should CRUD (can one say that?)<br>
&gt; to a table I have defined in the install file. If I could just find some<br>
&gt; sample code... How to insert (I know db_insert etc but what about the<br>
&gt; return codes and messages etc etc) .<br>
