Hi Thomas,
>YAG mentioned at the german vfp conference 2 or 3 years ago, that Celko's books were considered yardsticks for the vfp SQL implementation.
>
I don't know what did he mean, this didn't come from me.
>The vfp implementation of update SQL works like the replace: if a field is updated and later in the same statement used as the source of the next assignment, the UPDATED value and not the OLDVALUE is used - which contradicts Celko in that matter, but is familiar to everyday vfp/xBase use.
>
>Main Question: Is this an "implementation detail" which will remain or is there a possibility of a change to the behaviour Celko describes ?
>
I believe we don't have plans to change this behavior.
>The second is even less related to SQL but more to my personal style of coding and xBase/vfp behaviour: in xBase the table field to be changed can be coded as a name expression
>
We don't have plans to extend this behavior to SQL.
Thanks,
Aleksey.
