Subj:   Re: Consecutive sequence sql logic
 
From:   Dave Harper

Wow. I guess I am still new to TeraData, but I would have never thought that writing an inner join is WORSE than writing it in the where clause. I thought all that changed pre SQL-92. Should I be writing left joins in += syntax too? Or perhaps that I am biased coming from a Microsoft SQL Server background that HAD intuitive functions to handle many of the day to day query problems that TeraData so eloquently doesn't handle. It is quite sad when you can't do a isnull(), isnumeric(), or other case type scenarios without writing tons of code.

I would love to hear arguments for TeraData vs. SQL Server or Oracle. The data retrieval times are a bit faster, but not nearly enough to deal with all the issues that come up with TeraData. And on another note, why is it so buggy? I have been working with the product for only four months, and have had three issues that I found be escalated to NCR for fixes -- I didn't think I was working with a BETA version of the product.

Please, someone, anyone, give me some confidence in this product.


Regards.

Dave Harper
