RE: fast search or scan for words in selected field

What's your point, Frank?  That SQL does some things well?  I've always
said that SQL does some things well.  Just not ALL things.  Hell, I just
said in this very thread that SQL was a great tool for this kind of
application.  Evidently you missed that post, because you're still
taking my name in vain.

That's what I find so bizarre.  Because I say SQL doesn't do everything
well, I am anti-SQL.  Because I say Java doesn't do some things well, I
am anti-Java.

BULL.

I use both Java and SQL (and RPG and CL and REXX and whatever else)
whenever they are appropriate.  I never disrespect them, I only point
out places where they are inappropriate.  The people who try to shoehorn
these tools in where they don't belong are the ones who give the tools a
bad name, not me.


And so, this is the last time *I* respond to silly posts like this.  If
anyone gets upset because I say their pet technology du jour is not the
ultimate silver bullet of programming, I think it's an opportunity for
some therapeutic intervention.  Or at least cut down on the caffeine.

Oh yeah... :) :) :) :) :) :)
