I have a form that can be populated with records from a grid. "reset" allows the user to clear the selected record and input new data.

I wish it was that cheap .. throw in the cost of the tapes and the price doubles.

Most of my experience has been with Ultrium TBH. But you can pick up Ultrium 1.5TB tapes for less than the cost of a equivalent sized hard drive, here in the UK at least.

True but, in the 13+ years I've been in the industry I've not once seen or heard of a failed tape ..

I've dealt with hundreds of hard drives over the years. Using them as offline storage is very risky as they do and will fail to spin up after being sat for long periods of time.

Also, hard drives are cheap, but you would need servers to manage around 200 of them and that will cost a lot to run, not to mention maintain. Tape, in my eyes, is still the best way to archive data.

Have you looked into tape libraries i.e. The HP StorageWorks MSL4048. Obviously you would be looking at the uncompressed figure (144TB per unit)assuming your pictures are already compressed.

I agree, but it's not 3am across the entire world, it's 9:47am here in the UK, for example.

Also, I've noticed I have stopped up voting, on my HTC desire, as it is way to easy to down vote by mistake.

Rehashing old design floors is not an excuse to blame PHP for programmer error.

How can you say everyone should be fine using a simple construct like that, have you ever had to write a complex query on a non-trivial database?

Sorry, but how is PHP at fault? You can shoot yourself in the foot with ANY programming language.

Reply to your further edit (let't hope this is the last one ;) Prepared statements should afford you a clean conscience because the values never make up part of the SQL query .. unless you are using a library that emulates it, and there a

Reply to your edit. SQL is text. Also no one is sending a query to the server. It's a value that is embedded into the SQL query that circumvents it.

SQL is a human readable language .. what do you mean by "real binary protocol" ?

It seems I just became worthy of judging bad karma .. any chance I can turn it off in my settings? Mainly because I don't want to accidentally down vote someone (this optical mouse has a habit of skipping a few pixels now and then), also I
