If you do not know what the word metadata means, do not use it.

Why do people call data metadata. I really hate this, they start going on about the "metadata" and I automatically start thinking about data types and data lengths, encoding and stuff like that when what they actually mean data. It is not impressive and does not make you sound clever. What using the word incorrectly does is when you talk to someone with database knowledge it makes you look like you do not know what you are talking about. But most importantly it annoys me. There you go. My first rant. :mad: :laugh: ;P

Well now I try to remember: He who does not know and knows he does not know, teach him. He who knows and does not know he knows, enlighten him. He who does not know and thinks he knows is an idiot, ignore him. He knows and knows he knows... (go for it!) or something along those lines, Confucius maybe Regards Mike

Mike, The words are a bit minced but it sounds like one of the chapters from the Tao Te Qing. Michael

Google tells me it may be a paraphrased Arabic proverb.
