SQLServer is also stupid

I can't understand the problems database drivers have with whitespace where there shouldn't be any. It's clearly wrong...

So say that you create a table in SQLServer that is nullable. If you use DatabaseMetaData and do getColumns for that table, and check the nullable column, and fetch the value at index 18 - IS_NULLABLE. What you get back here is "YES" which is all according to the API. But if you by chance do the same thing for a column that is non-nullable - what value would you get then?
"NO ". Notice the space. Lovely. I *heart* databases.

... Someone asked me in response to my last blog post which database I would choose if I could. Hard question. I'd rather do without databases. But if I have to, I'd go with Mimer SQL which is probably the most SQL-compliant database ever, and really doesn't have WTF moments at all. It's small, it's from Sweden, and it's very nice.
