Pity. I guess I'll have to parse it myself...
I continue to be bewildered by programmers'
fixation on datatypes.
We're C++ programmers and C++ is all about data types.
It's a statically typed language.
This has been a constant
theme for 6 years now.
I'm sure it has... :-)
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".
Ummm...perhaps it's because when you create a
column you give it a type. It's only natural
to believe that the type might actually be
used for something...
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.
Yep. We spend a week stomping on the huge American
brake pedal every time we reach a traffic light and
want to de-clutch.
