<DIV><SPAN class=421324113-19062004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for inviting
me to come on board to provide my 5 cents worth for the new V2 of
Valentina.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=421324113-19062004><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><SPAN class=421324113-19062004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think one of the
most promising features would be POINTERS.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=421324113-19062004><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=421324113-19062004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Let me
explain..</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=421324113-19062004><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=421324113-19062004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Pointer records is a
brilliant idea if it could be used in the way..</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=421324113-19062004><FONT face=Arial size=2>as mentioned
POINTERS are just data pointing to somewhere else..</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=421324113-19062004><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=421324113-19062004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Why should the
system have pointers only be able to point to a record</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=421324113-19062004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can your pointer by
such that it can point to a table / a record / a field??</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=421324113-19062004><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=421324113-19062004><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=421324113-19062004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Meaning its just a
pointer and it can be used to point to anything, and this ability should
propagate around.. such that the pointing is done automatically by the
system.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=421324113-19062004><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=421324113-19062004><FONT face=Arial size=2>meaning in the same
table one pointer may be pointing to another record in the same table, the very
next record's pointer may be pointing to the whole table, when the next may be
pointing to another record or field in another table.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=421324113-19062004><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=421324113-19062004><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=421324113-19062004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think this will be
a veyr ver good feature if you can implement this as part of your
design.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
