Most of the places I have been didn't expect programmers to take anything
of the sort. But then, remember that the University of Oregon will give
you a B.S. in Computer Science without ever having to use anything but
Java and VB.
I'm not used to the notion of associating any form of logic with SQL.
This is perhaps an implementation issue, however. =)
