Could you please find and email me a snippet of where I was bashing
anyone, much less the people responsible for Firebird?

I just went back through and read my posts, and I cannot find anything
of that nature.

If anything I was expressing my frustration out of ignorance, but it was
not targeted toward anyone. The only line that could have been taken the
wrong way is when I said I feel like the bird took a big crap on me. If
anything that was meant to be more humorous than bashing.

Mostly I was asking questions, in a frustrated manor, but they were not
bashing anyone. Just questioning.

Yes, but that still takes time to go back and find the typo. So I try my
best to keep things short and simple so I do not have to go back. But
your point is and was well taken.

I use mostly Java, C, and C++ sometimes. Although I try to still avoid
typos, as at times the compilers are pointing out things other than
typos.

All comes down to time, I would rather spend time debugging, than fixing
typo's in long names.

But in this case I really had no choice, at least in the db column
names. Outside that I left things the same, short and simple.
