Re: Re: DB_Table: Summary and Pre-Call

Hi, Hans,

I do believe that you want to format and parse data to create standard return values, but I'm less convinced that you should work with non-native types *internally* in order to faciliate this end. I would re-iterate, though, that it's mostly a difference in philosophy and certainly others (SQLite) agree with your approach. Sergio is right that it isn't ideal for systems where data is shared between different technologies (and that really feels like the direction that everything should be heading).

If only the SQL vendors would adhere to ISO-standard date and time representations, or even the SQL92 definitions. :-( -- Paul M. Jones Savant: the simple alternative to Smarty. http://phpsavant.com/
