I for one have always viewed this as a perk.
- fhdsgbbcaA 2y agoA database that doesn’t give you back what you put into it is never a perk. It literally can’t handle storing and retrieving the data.
- sgarland 2y agoI don’t want to see emoji in my database. The customer is only right in matters of taste, not engineering.
