You better don't ask DB people and in esp. the Oracle people about opinnions on interface design. Unless you wan't something fscking ugly internally looking like FORTRAN/COBOL coding. They will always scrap portability/usability use undocumented behaviour and so on in the case they can presumably increase theyr pet benchmark values. One of the reasons Solaris is *feeling* so slow is that they asked Oracle people too frequent about oppinions apparently. In esp. they did forgett that there are other uses then DB servers ;-).
PS. I just got too much in touch with Oracle to not hate it...
