I continue to be bewildered by programmers' fixation on datatypes. This has been a constant theme for 6 years now. And in all that time, I have never been able to figure out why so many people think they need to know the "type" of a "column". The best theory I have is that people who have always driven a stick shift must have difficulty driving a car with an automatic transmission. -- D. Richard Hipp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
