Example:
Select
If(is_float(col1), 'is a float', 'not a float') as
type
From table

I think everyone who used Python will agree that its syntax is the best thing going for it. It is very readable and easy for everyone to learn. But, Python does not a have very good macro capabilities, unfortunately. I'd like to know if it may be possible to add a powerful macro system to Python, while keeping its amazing syntax, and if it...

I'm checking out Python as a candidate for replacing Perl as my "Swiss Army knife" tool. The longer I can remember the syntax for performing a task, the more likely I am to use it on the spot if the need arises. If I have to go off and look it up, as I increasingly have to do with Perl's ever hairier syntax, I'm more likely to just skip it,...

Looking over some code I came across a line like this if isalnum((unsigned char)c) { which was accepted by the compiler without complaint. Should the compiler have issued a diagnostic in this case? (I think it's not required to, but I'd like confirmation). Jeremy.

Why is C syntax so uneasy on the eye? In its day, was it _really_ designed by snobby programmers to scare away potential "n00bs"? If so, and after 50+ years of programming research, why are programming languages still being designed with C's syntax? These questions drive me insane. Every waking minute...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
