Re: SQL database object names longer than 10 characters and mixed case?

I could have been more politic about it. But I get a little cranky
hearing that perfectly good tools are bad because they don't meet a
preconceived notion of what's current and correct. I've had to fight that
battle for way too many years.

I hear you. I agree with you. I'd actually go further and suggest that if
you're limiting yourself only to SQL you're going to end up with mediocre
products. Actually, if you're limiting yourself only to RLA, you're going to
end up with mediocre products too. Both have a place. I find it hard to
understand that SQL only proponents familiar with IBM i don't see that.

I considered posting some new RPG procedures that I'm working on right now to
calculate grades for students for a school term, given a significant breadth of
grading options. SQL is not the correct tool for the job. Most SQL only
developers would probably carp against the business requirements, and push for a
watered down versions.
