• Now wouldn't it be fun if a unification capability were added to SQL so that you in an insert statement could specify the values of some computed columns and leave out the values of some of the non-computed columns and have the database engine compute the set of (new) rows that would satisfy the computations and any constraings (keys, check constraings, etc) and insert them all. :w00t:

    Or maybe not - probably safer to stick to doing that sort of thing in prolog or parlog or something.
