I had a hundred or so parts bags that became a bit tedious to identify where
they were from although not impossible, but I was thinking grind a database against
them.


tldr

used the rebrickable public csv files in MS Access to create a crude Query where
given three parts and their specific color can more often than not narrow down
set origin or narrow to 2 or 3

I am not a database expert, I am a novice, but I work with consumer level computer
consulting for small businesses for 20 year etc.


I dont know how to serve it up on the Internet, but I am looking.

I have not written the front end to it because I dont know how yet (should be
easy)


I just thought this might be useful to other people in some capacity



Thanks for reading
