I also vote for compatibility with other databases. Users, especially new users, are more likely to be happy with SQLite if it runs their existing queries unchanged. SQLite is being adopted by ever larger numbers of new users, and this will probably continue into the foreseeable future. Aggravating all these new users to avoid annoying the much smaller number of existing users who rely on the current non-standard behavior doesn't seem like a good tradeoff. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
