Ach soooo ...

How about next time YOU have to debug SQL statments embedded in the application code. The genius could not code it like

SELECT Customer_Name, Customer_Code, Customer_Alias FROM Customer

Of course not. Since the application supports it, this brilliant coding was used:

q.Fields[2], Fields[14], Fields[21]...

That genius I would have gladly strangled.

A honest mistake, I can accept. Hey I am still learning today that I was wrong about things I was certain of. Plus, I am ashamed of code I wrote only a few years ago.

But poison code guaranteed to make soemone else's life miserable, NEVER.

And suppressing comments, that is also high on my 5hit list.

As for escaping, "I haff detailed files".
