The book is on my desktop, under the 70-762 Developing SQL Databases book.  I need to start reading.

I like and use design patterns a lot. but there is one thing that bothers me: I can't remember all their names or I start confusing similar ones. Reading books avout them is like reading those books with hunderds of names in them. <g>

But seriously, that is why I always have big problems following discussions about them. I keep having to look up the patterns under discussion before I can say something.

 

FWIW, I have the same problems with dental and surgical instruments that are named after their inventors. These names do not tell what these intruments do at all. I almost always use their functional names instead.

Rudy, having read once upon a time one of your deep dives into Delphi datatypes (I think it was on floats or variants) it is hard to imagine for me that there is anything you cannot remember :-)
