Since that post - I have actually read and studied many relational database books and other text and will concede that "columns" is the proper terminology, not "field".
Hey, it takes a while for an OOP'er to come around to thinking in RDB terms...gimme a break.

haha, that's awesome. They finally checked their referrer logs or something I guess...
or maybe they just googled. -
RE: Concatenating field values together
oh, and another thing...what's up w/ all the Oracle world calling fields "columns" ?
I mean...they're only "columns" when they're displayed in a data grid or something...otherwise they're "fields" of a table (entity) just like you have "fields" of a class (entity) in your code...makes perfect sense to me.
I know what they mean but, their terminology could improve, IMO. -
Concatenating field values together
What is up with the character used to concatenate field values together?
"||"
??? WTF?
Is "+" or "&" really too illogical or something?
And get this...I found the answer to this on MSDN...not on OTN or any Oracle-related site. But I guess I should've known that would happen...since MSDN'ers have probably been figuring out stupid crap like this for a long time. -

Seriously. Oracle and TOAD are teh sux0rz!!!11Shift+One
Did you know Oracle backwards is "el caro" in Spanish which translates to "the expensive one"??
I especially like "tablespaces" ? wtf? How about sticking with the Server>Database>Schema>Table hierarchy? something that makes sense perhaps?
Don't even get me started on how you need tns aliases in your tnsnames.ora file if you don't want to run a TNS directory service on your network. teh lame.
