    Alright, there's any number of things to take my article apart for, half of it's an opinion... but there's vs. there are?

    You all are making me looking foolish because I am laughing when going through a SQL Forum. I am getting some strange looks. 😀

    On a somewhat related topic, I occassionally wonder how best to put together a proposal to allow Foreign Keys to reference multiple columns (when I'm not wondering...

    Hmmm, weird.
