Anything that tells me that doing the right thing is going to make me fail in life, is not worth reading. ;-) Can you imagine if we started sending any command to the SQLite3 tool? For example, HEY SQL TOOL, GIVE ME THE LIST OF ALL THE LAST NAME THAT START WITH C; NOW!; That wouldn't get you anywhere. There is an old proverb that goes something like, "Do no remove the ancient landmarks that your fathers have set." When we start doing we what want, we lose our point of reference. :-) Sorry.
