Subject Re: [firebird-support] column duplicated in insert statement

Personally, I dont think so. This isnt "exceptional", so it should raise an
exception. Remember, "Exceptions are exceptional". This is, however, silly. I
WOULD expect it to use the last value. Being in the western hemisphere, by
default my brain works from left to right. Evaluating the field/value pairs,
this is the behavior I would expect.
