>>Data is passed
>>Is not. Are.
LOL. 20 years ago, I would have agreed with you. Today? The Oxford and Miriam-Webster singular definition (simile for "information") is more prevalent, even normal. Still, I'll be sure to use your more classically accurate plural of "datum" going forward. ;-)
>>Map bigint to a n(19) in a view/SPT? Worth a try...
Absolutely...
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
