I was lucky enough to get the new 2013 high-end Macbook Pro Retina (15in) yesterday and started wondering about how it compares to the mid-2012 Retina (15in) model. On a personal level, I'm also pretty interested in how its gaming performance compares with its predecessor's.

For several decades I've enjoyed reading the comic strip, B.C. , about a bunch of cavemen. In one strip published long ago (I may be assigning quotes to the wrong characters, but you'll get the point), B.C. asks one of his compadres, "Thor, how far can you see?" Thor responds, "Well, I can see that cave over there, and it's about a mile away, so I guess I can see about a mile.

Below is a query that I issued from Data Studio earlier today, targeting a table that I'd created on one of our test DB2 subsystems: SELECT PRODUCT_ID, UNIT_SALES FROM PRODUCT_SALES WHERE PRODUCT_ID = 'A12345'; Now, a question for you: is that character string literal value, 'A12345', fixed-length or varying-length?
