I'm well aware of Codd, thank you very much. I'm also aware that SQL is
a relational language.
Ordering is however, a requirement for the real world, and I take
advantage of all the features of an application that are published,
and also the features that I deem are safe, that aren't published.
It's interesting you say that I could be replaced, because in 14 years
as a contractor, I've never (that's Never) failed to deliver working
project, as advertised. I've until very recently, deliberately gone
into each project as junior developer, taken over, and then fixed it,
and am usually the last contractor standing. I have prototypes I've
written, that became airborne software, and are flying, in space, as
well as in the air, and I replaced the whole of site server and 150
pages of ASP, with a single stored procedure for a very busy (and
successful) website.
This single stored procedure contained ALL the business logic. It was
done, because it needed to work, and the company couldn't get the
people in time to write it. This ran for two years before I was
replaced (correctly I believe) with a net datatable multi-tier based
system, once there was sufficient resource to continue with
development.
Books are useful to be sure, and I do have an extensive library on
software engineering, but a book is only as good as its authors are
clever. I'm happy to stand by my record, of having never failed to
deliver.
