[snip] I quite agree that to have more than one command on a line is a nice thing.
What I am saying is that barfing on an empty command is not the right thing to do. I remember, many years ago, I wrote some coding standards where I said: Every program/function should do nothing correctly. [/snip] Thought about it. And essentially a function that is not passed a parameter when called, though it needs one, should not do anything? Not even point out that it was not passed anything? So, I am expecting a result, and I get either an incorrect one, or none at all. Doing nothing correctly involves making sure that nothing doesn't produce unexpected results. Perhaps in a fuzzy-logic sort of way does this dictum apply, but I would have to argue the point :^] Jay sql, mysql, query --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
