Bzzzt! Wrong. In Gambas a string is a structure containing a pointer and a length so that the data can contain as much NUL as you want. Look at [0] and especially at [1] were I was told the same thing. Split() may be one of the functions mentioned there which by design (not by bug) do not support "\0" but in my imagination - without knowing the code - it should be as easy as using memmem() instead of strstr() to find a Gambas string (Separator) in another Gambas string (Text) and to split accordingly.

Version control is standard for application code, but databases havent caught up. So what steps can you take to put your SQL databases under version control? Why should you start doing it?
