Dave, you are a real pain.
If you read my original posting, instead of trying to impress other people in this NG by flaming me, you could have noticed I am an experienced databasedeveloper.
Maybe you think the only database around is Oracle. I have news for you: There are more databases out there Dave! Really! Maybe someday, when you have some sparetime from your bashing-people-around-duties, you could have a look at them. And if you do, I seriously hope you need help and post in a NG where I am active. I'll show you how people can actually help each other. Received on Thu Feb 12 2004 - 03:09:09 CST
