Have I built any apps in the last 5 years? Surely this is a joke. I spend 90% of my time buiding applications and have been involved in the design, development, and coding of four separate apps so far this year. As well as the migration of one app from SQL Server to Oracle for a local phone company. And I don't mean peripherally. I mean I have coded not less than 75% of the entire application including defining data types, tables, constraints, indexes, packages, and the front-end. And no they are not simple apps with one or two tables.

Of what relevance is the fact that google searches are case irrelevant? Do you really think a the google search engine isn't doing UPPER(x) = UPPER(y)? If you do you'd better look for a local college or university and apply for a CS degree.

It appears that you have gotten yourself emotionally involved in this ... and as I've stated I consider it a minor issue ... so I am unilaterally terminating any further responses to this thread. If you are looking for someone or something to get emotional about it please find another target.
