binding types ... kinda promises ... the types will be honored.

You are right but there are other aspects. If I pull a record, change someone's middle initial, then update the record; do I want a ' 4' to be corrected to a canonical '4'? Will all the other programs using my CSV file approve? ~~There~~ That is an argument for least change.

When one tightens up on type handling, little problems start popping up. Often they keep popping up.

Incidentally, the test changed: SQL_INTEGER() and &SQL_INTEGER can differ semantically.

Be well,
rir

A middle initial is rather unlikely bound to be an initial, right? If unbound. nothing changes. I have no intention to break anything. I want to fix bugs, and extend features. Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply]
