Re: Witango-Talk: Simple question
in our db it's not, but not sure about other db's it also lets us do this: update table set column=null you might try either of these things in a DBMS and if they work try and translate them into an update action if thats what you want to use (: - Original Message - From: Roland Dumas To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2004 11:55 AM Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Simple question caution:I think "" is different than NULLOn Apr 21, 2004, at 11:56 AM, Alan Wolfe wrote: Hi Ted, We use R:base and can do this: update table set column='' and that sets it to null. have you tried that?- Original Message -From: Ted Wolfley To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2004 11:50 AMSubject: Witango-Talk: Simple questionHi, I would like to put a NULL in a database field with an update action into a SQL Server database but can't figure out how.

Re: Witango-Talk: Contact with Australia
Hey Gene, I am also an "Old Timer" (Never thought I would actually want to proudly admit that). I've been with Tango since 1997 as well. I know what you were feeling though, us WiTango developers are left with disappointment from Everyware and chips on our shoulders from Pervasive. I'll bet next time they'll have an auto-responder like: Gone on vacation. Didn't bring LapTop. We still love WiTango, just not enough to bring it on vacation! Phil & Sophie. I would also like to know the progress of the java runtime library, and compiler to J2EE. Rick Sanders - Original Message - From: Wolf, Gene To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2004 7:23 AM Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: Contact with Australia God response Rick. However, all of us "old timers" with Tango were probably feeling a little deja vu the last few days. It was like, "haven't I been through this before, twice???" I know I was feeling some angst as well but was hoping for the best. Phil and Sophie do need a break now and then and I'm glad Phil has the smarts to take an "old fashioned" vacation. Certainly will recharge the batteries. I have to say though that I am anxious to get the keys that can be upgraded. I'm dying to try out the new java technology to see if there's any speed increase. Has anyone exercised this yet? Any reports on what might be expected in terms of reduced CPU load or speed increases. Yes, yes, I know, it depends on many factors, database access, query length, etc., but there has to be some effect that can be measured when moving tafs to java and I'd like to know if anyone has any experience.

All I get for that today is With telling me that they won't support Tango, but I can't sell my license without their permission. Okay, so I won't sell my license... but I will give it away to anyone and everyone that asks. Well, unfortunately that's With Enterprises' rules.

Re: Witango-Talk: Contact with Australia
I know I am LONG overdue... And good for you Phil. There probably does need to be a way for the issues people mentioned like bad license key to be resolved even if you are not there but people do need to take a breather. Maybe some people on the list are long overdue for vacation themselves. Dan on 4/20/04 19:12, Phil Wade at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have literally just arrived back in Australia this morning.
