RE: Knotty puzzle with chaining to files not known at compile time

From: Simon Coulter

However, I know you won't agree and because you've taken a contrary
position you'll just have to continue arguing that position until we
all get fed up. This isn't a "right" or "wrong" thing. Larry was
drawing a valid comparison which you didn't understand due to a rather
literal interpretation of a limited implementation.

Actually, I'm going to skip the typically antagonistic phrasing (it takes a
special kind of person to use "sucking eggs" in a technical conversation)
and go straight to the "You're right" bit.

Reading yours and Larry's posts I realize that he was specifically talking
about using SQL to iterate over an unknown file layout.  I was looking at
the situation where I already know the layout of the file.

My mistake, and thanks for pointing it out.

P.S. At least you've still got your social skills.
