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
