[Nitro] Accessing a database column with two different names

[Lars Olsson]

Thanks George (and everybody else)!

Maybe I'm stupid, but with your suggested model I still get some strange 
behaviour:

sqlite> .schema ogstoragefile
CREATE TABLE ogstoragefile (filename text, realname text, content_type 
text, owner_oid integer, oid integer PRIMARY KEY);

Ok...

sqlite> .schema ogstorageuser
CREATE TABLE ogstorageuser (username text, password text, realname text, 
email text, storage_file_oid integer, oid integer PRIMARY KEY);

Now, please explain the function of the field 'storage_file_oid' in this 
table to me.

Sincerely

/lasso
