Thanks for rubbing it in again 🙂

And I MUST apologise for calling this a bug in another discussion: I have checked some other database engines (Firebird, trying it, and MySQL, reading some specs) and they show the same behaviour. So perhaps it *is* even prescribed by the standard?

Must be just me then not getting why this makes any sense... (walking away in shame, throwing this experience in my "don't think of SQL as a real programming language" bucket)
