Done.
I was trying to figure out a way to prevent people from loading the registry with fake data. One was to limit the total number of additions to batches of 50 and allocate the next batch as the first fills up. t
The second way was to check the VIN for consistency with the format. Making sure the check digit is correct will make this a stronger security to bad data. Perhaps I will implement the check digit check but not make the results public. That will cut down on the errors in the VIN.
Thanks to Miguel for pointing out the cross reference possibility of a VIN in the database being checked with the DMV or other big brother information. I will leave the check digit alone, as entered. I do not worry too much about this since no name or other personal information is included in the database.
On the other hand, all the cross reference information is already in the DMV records and even the insurance records. All that exists in the Registry is the car information, which is probably as it should be.
