Hello Ray,
Thanks for at least taking a look at the blog -:)
It's not my product, I'm just a very enthusiastic advocate
of D4. I 'get it', of course I get sql too -:)
I'm trying to generate some interest in it here but it's
like pulling teeth. Pulling people out of their sql
comfort zone is no easy task. At least the excuses are
entertaining -:) Introducing advanced concepts like a
'table', a 'row', a 'list' and extending the concept of
a 'variable' seems like anathema to the sql community -:(
I guess I'll have to be more aggressive in convincing
people just what the big picture is. Such confusion, such
misunderstandings. But eventually some, especially those
that have some understanding of application development,
will see what I'm talking about, get it and take the leap.
For those that see themselves as basically sql programmers
my job is tougher. They will need solid quality re-learning.
best,
steve
