From a coding standpoint it's a lot easier than setting up gobs of logical
files.....from a performance standpoint, you better set up gobs of indexs!

subject: RE: SQL under the covers
I might have messed up my example, and as I think about it
more, I really am
trying to peek under the covers at execution time. In simple
terms, I'm
wondering how I debug a complex SQL statement that doesn't
work, and I guess
there's no easy way to do it. Sometimes the SQL error messages
make you
think.
If none the CASE statements evaluate as true in this example,
no sort is
performed. This logic works in several of my programs of
varying shapes and
sizes; it makes a very cool we-don't-need-no-stinkin'-Windoze
point-and-double-click-to-sort application. Green-screen folks
accustomed
to limited order-of-data choices love it, and from a coding
standpoint it's
a lot easier that setting up gobs of logical files.
