It's a natural outgrowth of the division of the experts into camps.
In order to write a good precompiler for embedded SQL, your have to have a decent respect for the host language, and its "paradigm" (if can use that word). You also have to have a decent respect for SQL, for the RDM, and for the DBMS.
People who join one of the camps typically lose all respect for the concepts of competing camps, even when those concepts deserve consideration. Received on Sat Sep 11 2004 - 19:39:24 CEST
