IT Jungle ☛ Guru: Load A Varying-Dimension Array With One SQL Fetch
One thing I really like about working in different shops is the vast amount of source code I’m exposed to. But that’s not the best thing. The best thing is the people I meet and get to know. The more clients, the more teachers. Combine source code and people, and my life, personally and professionally, is enriched.

Delphi Nightmares ☛ dBase: 1979-2026
Years ago, dBase was the undisputed king of databases - every business, every person using IBM or IBM-compatible PCs had to get it installed.
But instead of innovating to remain the best database in the face of competition, former Ashton-Tate CEO Ed Esber decided to litigate. Lawsuits designed to protect “look and feel” copyrights had a massive, chilling effect on the dBase community1.
Ashton-Tate targeted its own unsuspecting customers with “piracy audits”, and ask them to pay extra fees for licenses. External consultants were given sales quotas for official dBase consultant status - a predatory practice that was unthinkable in an era when software development cycles took years.
dBase customers pushed back, asking the obvious questions: When is a Novell NetWare-compatible server coming? When are we getting a network-aware UNIX dBase server?
Competitors answered. FoxBase released FoxPro UNIX server in 19932. Btrieve release their Novell-compatible servers in 19943.
Public humiliation and years of harassment by rent-seeking vendors destroyed developer trust long before the bugs began piling up.
