hi folks, i am just following the discussion about the positional parameters. isnt it possible to think about positional parameters just as 'named-by-numbers' parameters? when its possible to use q.setParameter( "x", something ) and q.setParameter( "y", anotherthing ) then i ( without smoking too many mushrooms ) can imagine that the 2 in q.setParameter( 2, whatever ) is very similar to "2". So, the parameter index is not like an array-index, but like a key in a map. when you can handle named parameters, non-sequential index parameters shouldnt be too difficult .. - technically - what the standard says might another thing.
