RE: SQL Syntax

["jt" <jt@xxxxxx>]

Joe,

PLEASE STOP! Yer sarcasm.

I'm laughin' so hard I cain't get any work done...!!!

I took (semi-)seriously, what You said about "Me, I'd much rather have a
decent database and somebody who still remembers how to program."  I believe
this concept has gone outta fashion, Joe...  Gone the way of the dinosaur,
or so's I hear tell.

| Here we agree.  SQL is unparalleled for ad hoc.  But native is better for

| Obviosuly I wouldn't be asking these questions if I weren't trying to use
