At the risk of stating the obvious, I think the following is the best 'centrist' approach for the common query commands:
MVQL - Multi Value Query Language. As for the database resource - it's almost a non-issue any more who the provider is since most have 'flavors' that mimic the major variants. This generic primer would be the documentation that most interests the potential reader. System internals would come later and that would be something that we all obtain from the vendor. Free code is an excellent way to get others to embrace MV. We frequently borough code from PHP or other code sharing sites and cobble it into our basic routine if we're doing something new. If we could get more of this going, and offer the 'pocket guides' there, we'd garner more respect and affection. I know we have a couple wiki's out there - lets improve these and get a generic MV code foundry up. I must express my debt of gratitude to Jon also. He graciously allowed me to republish parts of his work when I taught a Programmers class for clients of Pick Professionals in St Louis. Fascinating thread. I've only read thru 1/2 of it so forgive me if any of my suggestions are redundant. -Baker This communication, its contents and any file attachments transmitted with it are intended solely for the addressee(s) and may contain confidential proprietary information.
