Re: [Dataperf] Greetings from a new inductee

[Charles G. Wolf]

Welcome, Dave, It is encouraging to me, and perhaps to others, too, to hear of a young, newcomer to our group.  Having used DataPerfect since the late '80s (I am now at tender young age of 62), I sometimes ask myself if am I holding on to what is familiar and comfortable and not willing to embrace new tools.  Your words give me confidence.  I'm not an IT person, DBA or a programmer;  I have not done development on any other relational database.  So I have no clue as to what the terms outer/anti-joins, non-equijoins, pivots, or fuzzy correlations mean.  Still, DP allowed me to build, and run a database for my sales business. Great to have you onboard!

It's just a little hobby blog running on my Raspberry Pi (Pelican works great for that purpose). I'll try not to annoy everybody with too many beginner questions on account of being a couple decades behind the curve here. :) -Dave Britten _______________________________________________ Dataperf mailing list Dataperf@dataperfect.nl http://lists.dataperfect.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dataperf
