as a homework, write these two rules in prologIt's an article about misconceptions, which they both are.The bottom line is: you can't assume either. Each name may or may not be case sensitive. so basically a good programmer should provide a checkbox "is your name case sensitive" with every form that requires a name. i'll start implementing it first thing next week. To properly handle most cases you need at least a binary blob field with the posibility of NULL.Thinking about that. I think to handle it properly you actually need a seperate "names" table to handle different names for one person.full name, first name, last name, calling name, catholic name, original chinese name, etc.. etc.. Also it is my personal opinion that people who think correct capitalization of names doesn't matter have spent to much time workin with windows.
