Re: ROWID's (fwd)

I'm sorry Tim I sent it directly to you prior and also the second time as well. You are not getting my e-mail so I'm posting this to the list. I received so many complaints about reply into list and not directly to the person I'm responding to that, I tried this for you and it did not make it! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 7 May 1996 20:18:29 -0500 (CDT) From: Cheryl Kendricks <cherylk@prod1.jcdc.doleta.gov> To: Tim Schaefer <tschaefe@encore.com> Subject: Re: ROWID's I belived my orginal reply was to you sorry, anyway here it is again. ---- Message of Why NOT to --- I say good because it insure that you follow RI. Every table must have a UNIQUE PRIMARY KEY. IF you fetch for that PRIMARY KEY you return back exactly the row you want. The use of how I have found many of my programmers using ROWID, works around defining PRIMARY KEYS. This is why I am for it's non-usage. It's like allowing me access to create a table using the HEX TABLE name verse the actual table name. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheryl Kendricks Internet:cherylk@prod1.jcdc.doleta.gov OR kendric@gwysmtp.jcdc.doleta.gov DTSI, Inc.
