All the rest of my sites use databases heavily, also. But they aren't a CMS, so they have very little HTML in the database.


Finally--after all this time--an answer with specific argument, rather
than unsupported insult. Good work Jerry. You're coming around.


I guess you can't read. I had specific arguments above.

OK, it appears we have a semantic hair to split.
Database-driven sites don'tstore HTML fragments, only CMSs do.
In a database-driven site, by your definition, every string and every tag from every page is stored in a table.column so it can be directly updated by sql.


I never said that.

*If* such a system existed, I accept your argument, for that system
and all others like it.

I'm signing off this thread permanently, regardless response.


That's good - because you have no idea what you're talking about.

You claim you've been using Oracle since 1995 - but you show absolutely
zero understanding of databases and how they are used.

More likely you used an application which accessed an Oracle database
and never have done any database programming.

I suggest you read up on how databases are used in the real world and
come back when you can discuss this intelligently.
