Ok. "Localisation" was the good french word;-)

I thought about it as well, but did not implement it.
I agree that it would look better. I can have a go.

It depends.
If you're in the middle of a sql-script as I often do, giving the line
within the statement isn't bad. Say:
SELECT o.titre
FROM collections AS col, ouvrages AS o, a_ecrit AS e, auteurs AS a
WHERE o.id=e.oeuvre AND e.auteur=a.id AND o.collection=col.id
AND col.nom LIKE '%Spirou%' AND a.nom<>'Franquin'
EXCEPT
SELECT o.titre
FROM collections AS col, ouvrages AS o, a_ecrit AS e, auteurs AS a
WHERE o.id=e.oeuvre AND e.auteur=a.id AND o.collection=col.id
AND col.nom LIKE '%Spirou%' AND a.nom='Franquin';
All lines look the same... So I would prefer to keep it.
Well, if it is the only issue against the adoption of the patch, I will do
without the line number.
I'll submit a new patch in a moment.
Thanks for your comments,

Fabien.
