Then BB is wrong again and again.
Here is the BB's logic

1) SQL Logical Table are multidimensional
2) SQL Physical Tables are SQL Logical Tables
3) SQL Physical Tables are multidimensional

Problem: SQL Physical representation of Tables is bidimensional/ tridimensional/ based on all informations provided. Therefore point number 2 is wrong. Therefore BB is wrong.

Irrelevant.

Then you are wrong again and ignore the meaning of Axiom. premise is not axiom. premise is one possible form proposal for Axiom. Premise is boolean. But Axiom is not.

Bob is diverting again discussion on his person in a simplyistic manner.

The non diverted point is

Diverting discussion on alternative debate is a habit with BB. *credible* is irrelevant to RM debating.

BB hides behind excuses.

Remains the question. *crank* is irrelevant to the discussion.

A habit of BB: irrelevance.

BB proves once again confusion between physical and logical layers. BB brings arguments exclusively at logical level (normalization, integrity issues). Cimode states logical level is not relevant for the discussion on physical representation and that logical definitions are not to be used as an argument. BB was proven wrong on several points about physical information on memory controller. BB has no credibility until proving his point. Received on Wed Jun 21 2006 - 10:33:08 CEST
