Yes I did, and it was more helpful than the raw logs.  In general, however,
I got a lot of "what happened" and very litte "why".

Let's be honest, I'm no SQL expert.  On the other hand, I like to think I'm
a relatively bright guy; I've managed to learn most other languages and
tools without too much trouble.

Then again, maybe that's the problem.  I have problems with SQL because I
just don't get it <grin>.  Actually, that's not true.  I get the syntax, I
understand how to do it, I just don't understand the inner workings and
sometimes unexpectedly bad things happen, and that's not acceptable to me as
part of the toolset for designing a mission-critical application.

Anywho, 'nuff said.  The horse we've been beating has long since gone on to
sing in the Celestial Choir.
