Database Help

I am currently creating an extensive, interactive database for my new business I'm soon opening (marketing and promotions) in order to store and retrieve client info, etc. Since the max for a script is 16K this will limit me as to how much I can include. My questions are as follows:

1) Is there some sort of code that will run or access and start a second script within the same prim?

2) Is there some way I can have a "lltouchobject" kind of function that will touch a daughter prim and activate a script inside it when needed.

3) I have heard some one mention access points. How do these work and can I use this and what would I use as script?

4) Security related question - each time an AVI logs in and out do they always keep the same key?

Thanks to everyone in advance for any help or insite they can provide!

Cheers,

Kirk Megna

If you want a massive database, just XML-RPC to an external MySQL/PHP page.

4)Avatars keep their same key no matter what. It is their UUID.

Well, I have no idea what "just XML-RPC to an external MySQL/PHP page" means or would entail however I think my problem was solved (by Peter Newell). Basically I'm now using a different script for each client I have and they are ran from the main script using

llSetScriptState("name", TRUE);

Everything seems to be working well now :) Thanks for the replys and IM's to all!
