From your subject line, it *sounds* like you're trying to write a SQL
statement with the literal value in it. It's a *much* better idea to
use a parameterised SQL statement so that you don't need to do
formatting, escaping etc.

That sounds lovely. If only I knew what it meant - lol!
I'm using the Oracle .net data provider ado.net stuff. It seems
perfectly happy translating DataSet-string-dates into bonafide
Oracle-date-dates, so where's the harm?
If you'll give me detail about the approach you're talking about, I'm
more than happy to give it a whirl....
Thanks for the idea,

a) It means you need to get it right
b) It makes your code harder to port to other providers
c) If you do the same thing with other data types (and particularly
strings) you leave yourself open to SQL injection attacks if you're not
careful
If you'll give me detail about the approach you're talking about, I'm
more than happy to give it a whirl....
See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/faq/#db.parameters
If that doesn't help, I'm sure the ADO.NET newsgroup will be happy to
provide more details :)

I've seen some strange string formatting behavior on several XP and 2000

easiest way to see it is to put a label on a VB or C# form, leave the
label's font setting at the default, set AutoSize to true, and set the
text property to a long string of narrow characters, like:

The first couple dozen or so 'l's look okay, but the...

String formatting can be used to converting an integer to its octal or

But, can string formatting be used to convert an integer to its binary

Is there an easy way to make string-formatting smart enough to
gracefully handle iterators/generators? E.g.
transform = lambda s: s.upper()
pair = ('hello', 'world')
print "%s, %s" % pair # works
print "%s, %s" % map(transform, pair) # fails
with a """

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
