Hope it helps someone out there!
As well, could someone verify if this is a true bug?

Dennis ....
I was looking over your video on the Database module and was curious .... how would I create a data base listing similar to that of the http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?id=6009
thank you
I'm assuming you mean a list view that has each entry as a seperate row in a table.
For the list view you have three areas for templates
- header
- repeated entry
- footer
You need to create the table and the header row in the first area, then the repeated table row, then close the table like this:
header
<table class="generaltable" width="80%">
<tr>
<th>test</th>
<th>testing</th>
<th>tester</th>
<th>actions</th>
</tr>
repeated entry
<tr>
<td>test</td>
<td>testing</td>
<td>tester</td>
<td>##Edit## ##More## ##moreurl## ##Delete## ##Approve## ##user## ##comments## </td>
</tr>
footer
</table>
Depending on your theme you may need to add an appropriate class="something" to your table tag in the HTML and possibly add relevant CSS to your theme files.
Thank you for the information... the DB feature is great and I think that it has some potential.....
Can you take a look at the enclosed image and tell me why the filds look like this....? Not from the list view but from the add a new entry screen.

I'd guess you've added new fields after the intial creation of the database. Try looking at the add entry template, hitting the reset template button and then saving. It should create something simple but effective, and for the entry screen at least you'll rarely want to do anything more complicated than what the default provides.
