Dieter,

"elaborations" by Mr. Pig Poop are not worth reading. They are biased by very questionable prejudices at best, hopelessly uninformed and outright wrong at worst.

One example : Mr. Pig Poop wrote "The notion of the Heading being tightly coupled to the column is a TTM absurdity. Complete pig poop. It doesn't happen in SQL, so in any case, it is silly to expect the non-feature here." I invite you to read up on SQL's UNION CORRESPONDING to see the evidence of the contrary.
