    Petrol station lunch day for the car and I

    Still gloomy here, but no proper rain yet

    Comment


      Top conversation with developer. I need a new table in the database. Some of the fields are types which already exist, so I gave him the aliases for them. The others are fields coming from an external source, so I specified them as, e.g. Varchar(10).

      He has asked me why I have not provided existing aliases for all the fields. I explained that some were new and specific.
      He's now asked me to explain the details of the fields.

      I've now had to explain to him that Varchar means it's a variable length alphanumeric and that (10) means it's maximum length is 10 characters.

      I expect nest he will ask me what Varchar(20) is, and why we don't have 11,12,13,14... in between.
      Can't wait for him to ask me what an integer is.
