[AccessD] Web designers. Why don't they stick with design?

Charlotte, I was very tempted to respond, but given the depth and breath of
his lack of knowledge, it seemed like such a waste of time. But I am glad
you did.

I was indirectly involved in an email fire-fight with Fabian Pascal, the
self claimed SQL guru and fundamentalist. I understand, as I bailed early,
that the fight went on for over a year and degenerated into just passing
insults. (The standard battle over absolutely adherence to the laws of
normalization versus database performance.)  

...But Good work; someone just had to say something.

Jim

I couldn't resist sending him some feedback on the more egregious errors
(like the remark about Access 2000 only supporting simple stored
procedures ...) and I'm sure his extreme spam filter will junk it, but
it felt good to nail him on a couple of points anyhow, including the
need to use different code for Access and SQL Server in .Net. <g>

Hi all, late Friday humour, sort of ...

Look what I've found.
This guy (I'll state his name just as a warning: Bill Gearhart) seems to
be one in an endless row of web designers with no knowledge about how
Access works, thus he doesn't know what he is talking about:

http://www.aspemporium.com/aspEmporium/tutorials/dontUseMSAccess.asp 

No doubt, Access is not intended for use as backend database for
high-volume web sites but this blurb is so full of factual errors and
bad coding examples that it should be abandoned.
