What programming language are you using that does not have variables? Seems rather unlikely to me that a programming language would not have some sort of concept of "variables", whether those "variables" refer to the storage location of the data itself in memory or are referents (pointers) to data stored in memory. Could you please expand on what programming language you are referring to that does not have variables -- I find this quite intoxicating! >All the programming gurus I've read, agree that the best way to >master a language (SQL is) is to read code from good programmers and >I do not remember anyone who says that you ask in the forums when you >have any questions, and the sad reality is that it is difficult to >find examples of SQL, apart from being attentive to these pages where >sometimes you learn a lot in the code of some answers. One does not program in SQL. One programs in a programming language (COBOL, FORTRAN, BASIC, Assembler, PL/1, C) or some variant of a programming language designed by huxters (C++, C#, Java, IronOxide, etc). SQL is *S*tructured *Q*uery *L*anguage. It is what you use inside a programming language to get and put data between main-memory and your storage system (for example, a disk file). It is not a language in its own right. Though many large $$$$$$ RDBMS systems which use SQL have wrapped their own internal scripting language into their product -- that is not SQL. Even the names of these things are different: PL/SQL, Transact-SQL, SQL.NET, and so on and so forth. These variants of SQL are related to SQL in the same way as Cherry Code is related to Coke. They sound similar to the proletariat, but they are not the same. -- The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
