Re: Prefetch - OffTopic

Yes, that would be a sufficient (although not necessary) condition for being well and fine with kdB.
Last time I used APL was.....pre-Gregorian, so yea, that's scary to me, too.

( Of course, one can use C/ODBC or Java/JDBC to reach kdB; once there, one uses SQL92, or
proprietary kSQL. )

... Which is well and fine if you're prepared to require that all of the staff that interact with data are skilled APL
hackers. Skilled enough that they're all ready to leap into Whitney's ASCII-based variant, K.
