Neither you nor I should have to take any longer than absolutely necessary to to do mundane things in life like creating database tables. It's a quite trivial concept and one that can easily be abstracted visually so that each new database you come across does not require you to understand its internals.

My goal is not to "learn how to do X", it's "to do X". I think you may be placing too high a value on the former. Received on Sat Nov 22 2003 - 23:28:45 CET
