Hi
They would, but are very reluctant to because of prvious bad experiences
with YAHOO groups.
They are convinced their e-mail address are harvested there and then they
are flooded with spam.
Greetings

database


Johan,

J> From Clarion NG

this ping-pong is really starting to confuse me. If people from the
clarion or whatever other group want to talk with people here, why
don't they subscribe? It won't cost a dime and there's a news
interface included.
I cannot make a sense of these threads, I hope others are
more able than me and that you get the required answers anyway.

Whatever, hijacking other threads is very bad netiquette to me, and
doesn't contribute to develop a positive attitude in the reader.

Anyway...

J> You cannot have 100% protection but you can make it difficult by using
the

Column

J> defined in the Clarion Dictionary and used in the Clarion program can
be
J> meaningfull labels whereas the external names could be cryptic ones
like
J> T001,
J> T002, etc for tables and C001, C002, etc for Columns. It would take
somebody

will

SQL
J> utilities as the names on the SQL backend would be cryptic (unless you
can

have

I have no other word than "paranoia" to describe this.
"Fighting windmills" would also be somehow appropriate. ;-)
