No. He was stating the obvious. > Thing 2: Your schema, even if we know nothing about your problem, > demonstrates issues that could bite you in the butt later on.

Although being a starter in SQL I figured that out myself. Funny side-note: the schema is not about to change. I'm not to decide about it. If I get the time to re-design that piece of code I have to maintain here I'll happily change the schema first. But it's not the time now. > Thing 3: If we really have no idea what your situation/problem is, > perhaps you should educate us so we can answer you better.

What I posted so far about the database/table/schema might not have been in the correct wording right from the start but nonetheless it was correct. Only thing I come to think about now is that I should have stressed that changing the schema is not an option. > This is a nice list. Let's keep it that way please. Will do. regards, Florian _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
