Marvellous. I accept that Sybases Null handling when ANSI_UNLL is OFF, is a 3VL except not. And therefore that it cannot be 2VL.

The example code you provide is a special form of straw man argument. It is not stupid. It is "clever" in the sense of the "cleverness" of neurotics such as Date and Darwen. It is dishonest, non-logic presented as "logic". If I answer, it will afford it some credibility, which is otherwise absent.

I do not agree that System 10 had that problem. Of course, neurotic or contrary programmers have that problem, all the time, regardless of the version. Generally, we do not hire them.

There is nothing else in your post that is worth responding to. I have already answered all your points in previous posts.

Cheers
