Small Mercies...

The words create, select, insert, update, delete are all six characters long.

If you work with databases and programming languages, you will understand why this is a small mercy for us poor developers. :-) Or perhaps I am just losing my mind to GDB induced psychosis...

And we also know that if it gets to the point where that matters, you're already deep, deep, deep in trouble!

Right, heh. Perhaps I should clarify... :-)

select = "blah blah..."
create = "blah blah..."
delete = "blah blah..."
update = "blah blah..."

See? In a text editor, they all line up nice. Small mercies indeed. Heh.

Oh, that's OK then. Sounded like you were relying on it in GDB.
