Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Learning curve vs best allocation of time vs
money.
In my book, it's a tradeoff between knowing exactly what you told the tool
to do on a command-line versus assuming what a GUI tool is doing.
For instance MYSQL has the ability to set a collation (what I would have
called a character set) on each table. You can do that explicitly in the
command-line. But the designer of the GUI tool has to play trade-off between
vomiting all the possible options on the user and hiding/showing them to the
user based on some idea of the user's experience level. So if you just click
the button that says "Create Table", unless there's some verbosity to the
GUI, you may be setting things that you may not want. I tend to start with
the command line, then play around with various GUI tools until I find one
that creates/manipulates the way I want it too, then just use the GUI.
