And it's really not the same thing because ids are not position. With this type of structure a field without value will be a missing row in a table. Moreover, from the moment each column is isolated in its own table with a second key column, it becomes essential not to store NULL values because the amount of data doubles for each value, since a primary key is required for each column. It's a 6NF model. See <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixth_normal_form>
Predictable suite.^_^ Disable the feature in BIOS if possible. Branch prediction is a rotten plank that needs to be scrapped. It's a remarkably bad idea that doesn't deserve to be saved.
But no one has bothered to write a complete manual like Carl did for Rebol, and the language is a partial implementation in Rebol which has a hybrid Rebol/Red syntax that must ultimately be bootstrapped in Red. In short, you have the scaffolding around it and if you are not a total fan or a dev of the project it is not even worth it.
For me, it even went off the rails before, when Nenad went to China because he was able to raise funds for the project. But he hadn't anticipated that he would be in charge and not the other way around. The situation seems to suit him perfectly. I don't think Red has any future at this point. In any case, the roadmap has always been stratospheric.
Does the quality of the paint and canvas prevent a poor painter from applying 30 coats? No, and it's probably the same with programming languages. Adding a low wall in the driveway won't change anything.
What I find most disappointing about most editors is the lack of dockable textareas to enter search and replace with regexps on single/multiple files. And the lack of a dockable panel with clickable links to jump to search results. Almost all of them use an infamous dialog box, or single-line text fields, or only jump to the next result: what a handicap.
Yet, manipulating text effectively is the most important operation. Incomprehensible.
EditPad does it and it's absolutely brilliant, but it's only usable on Windows. E
I wanted to introduce this little, unpretentious piece of software, which is intended as a small programmable database for hobbyists, like a mini Access but with a scripting language for those who like parentheses.
