How, more exact, do you find mr. Gittens misses the point in his critique of 2GB?
What, in your opinion, is the connection between OIDs, (surrogate)keys and pointers?
What do "pointerless programming" mean? Are you referring to eg. Java, where "nothing is a pointer, but everything is a reference"? Received on Mon Nov 15 2004 - 12:50:39 CST
