Translating with DrWatson… this can take a few seconds the first time.
This is a genuine, complex translation. DrWatson protects commands, error codes, and log output while naturally translating the surrounding text. It’s translated once and saved.
Obnoxio The Clown and Mark Townsend traded light banter in a thread about the IDS 10.0 Cities Tour 2006, joking about sheep. Mark Townsend noted his reply to the list had been held for moderator approval because he posted as a non-member. No technical content and no resolution.

They fitted GPS tracking to all the sheep so they would know where they

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.
