OK, so shoot me down on that one ... it it's true! -- Bye now, Obnoxio "C'est pas parce qu'on n'a rien ' dire qu'il faut fermer sa gueule" - Coluche did i mention i like nulls? heck, i even go so far as to say that all columns in a table except the primary key could/should be nullable. this has certain advantages, for example, if you need to insert a child record and you don't have a parent row for it, just do an insert into the parent table with the primary key value (everything else null), and voila, relational integrity is preserved. but this is, admittedly, a bit controversial among modellers. --r937, dbforums.com

TV as we know it, ie electrical as opposed to mechanical was invented by an American, out of Utah I believe Obnoxio The Clown wrote: > > Marco Greco said: > > > > Obnoxio The Clown wrote: > > [snip] > >>> > >>>I can't remember a single fucking thing that came from England or the > >>>UK that was worth remembering other than a tyrannical king and a bunch > >>>of drunks. > >> > >> > >> English. > >> The world wide web was invented by a Brit. > >> Television. > >> The inventor of the telephone was a Brit. > >> The jet engine. > >> Penicillin. > >> Radar. > >> The umbrella. > >> Scuba gear. > >> Submarines. > >> Periscopes. > >> Do I need to go on? > > > > Actually no. the inventor of the telephone was Italian.

Campbell Swinton was, guess what, a Scot.
