I hope you're stockpiling suggestions for ElevateDB - just to give yourself something to do after its launch.

I'd like an AUTOINCINGROUP just to save me the effort of coding it myself.

It would be applicable where an AUTOINC was the second or subsequent field in a multi field key and it would always start at 0 when a new record was added where the preceding fields in the key didn't already exist. Thereafter it would increment.

Easy for a man of your calibre

Yes, I'll get on the enhancements right *after* I get drunk.

Good suggestion.  I'll add it to the list.

Good idea - I recommend a nice bottle of single malt - at least 15 years old. Once you've drunk it you should then go and do another round of tests - I guarantee you'll find some more bugs

How many inches is the pile now?

Probably twice as many....

<< How many inches is the pile now? >>

Actually it's not that bad because ElevateDB already covers the majority of
them, especially the big ones.

Little or no peat please.

Your recommendation have anything to do with you being a Scottish?

I should have asked if you were Scottish.  Must have been thinking
about the scotch itself.
