> Okay, all of the messages are in THELIST table now.

I couldn't connect to the datasource for thelist - I think it was a MYSQL table.

What is the structure of the Oracle table? Dan? Anyone?

> Not sure what the plan for tip extraction is.

The plan for tip extraction (not optimized for performance but should give you the idea):

Select id, fromemail, messagebody
from thelist

loop through results

   (parse messagebody for tips

    for each tip
       
      (insert into thetips (tipid, messageid, fromemail, attribauthor, attribtype, tipcontent)
       values...  etc..
      )
   )
