Well, this discussion has not gone well at all!
I suggest that everyone relax and discontinue pursuing it.
The response has been made that the example code in the tutorial is more
complicated than it should be. Digressions on SQL and databases are not
relevant. Nor are comments on grammar.

It is very confusing if you never had a need for any kind of database.. which I
do not…. And neither do many other programmers. Databases are only a very
