This is over ten years old. Any newer technology out there? Any hints where to look, please? I am not very experienced with hardware or the current market. --Gryllida (talk) 10:11, 17 February 2021 (UTC)


 * The new Macbook Air M1 is fanless; its counterpart the Macbook Pro M1 has a fan. The two have very similar hardware, so it's a good illustration of the pros and cons of fanless - under prolonged load, the Air will thermally throttle where the Pro doesn't. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 12:15, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Ms-Access, to pass a query row to some function
Hi, in any SQL query I can pass any field to some external function: SELECT myFunct(myField1, myField2) AS myResult .. Now I'd like to pass the whole row to some function. If it were a recordset it would be easy: set myRS = CorrentDB.openrecordset("myTble") and then in a loop myResult = myFunct(myRS) Is there some way to do this in an SQL query? SELECT myFunct(*) AS myResult ..  as it were. Thank you (Of course I can put all fields in the parameter list, but if there are a lot of fields a more general approach would be welcome) 194.174.73.80 (talk) 11:55, 17 February 2021 (UTC) Marco PB
