Need clipart representing a database

January 21, 2006 11:37 AM

Needed: a good clipart graphic representing a database (shape of a cylinder) for a quick powerpoint presentation. There has to be something decent in the public domain. Any links? Thanks!

This should be easy to make in almost any drawing program - what are you looking for exactly?

it's there already -- open the drawing toolbar and find the "basic shapes" drop down.

Heh. It's intresting how everyone knows databases are "shaped" like cylenders.

"it's there already -- open the drawing toolbar and find the "basic shapes" drop down."

I'm lost -- what application are you referring to?

In Powerpoint, look for the "auto shapes" toolbar, if it's not open, do so. Look for a menu option with a flyout arrow called "basic shapes" - there is a database cylinder there.

YMMV depending on your version of Powerpoint. I'm referring to 2003, it's been there since 2000, I think.
