Re: DDL's - tables and keys

I thought I was sending this to the group, as it turns out I sent it to
Rob only. My apologies......



Just so everyone knows, I did receive Rob's message and I called him this
morning to let him know that I am just chalking the day to a bad hair day
for everybody and that there is no harm or foul.

I will say that I appreciated Rob apologizing through the group...and
without sounding too sappy I thought it was a classy move on his part.

It is one thing to receive an email from someone doing the same thing and
quite another for them to do it publicly.

Rob, you are ok in my book and I appreciate all that I have learned from
you over the years.

Doug,

I didn't mean that to sound harsh. There's a lot of times that I get a
question and I'll whip up a program or something and try it out. I'm
really sorry. I hope you don't leave.

I could go on about how I didn't know you tried this or that, but that
would only dilute my apology and that would be wrong. It bugs me when
someone says "I'm sorry you feel that way but ..." meaning that they felt
they were justified.

Hoping it was just a bad day thing and you reconsider.

Also, I didn't think about ALWNULL. Good to know, but I've gotten out of
the habit of processing files in CL. Granted, it's improved over the
ages, (but waiting through the "Middle Ages" was a long dry spell).
