RE: Who is Schowler, and why is he routing my traffic?

That was the first thing that came to mind for me (the arcade Frogger);
guess that dates me :-)

   Randy Egan described "frogger" on c.s.i.a.m 10-Sep-1998 as "a term 
used inside the Rochester hallways to refer to an _access method_ used 
to position to keys in an index by 'jumping' from one range of key 
values to the next (just like the frog in the old arcade game call 
'Frogger').  I have been on a personal quest trying to remove the usage 
of that term from any communications outside of the lab."  The 
terminology of course remains in the LIC message.  That level of 
information describes to the DB2 query developer, details about the 
failing request.  And having a name is beneficial to enable discussion 
about an algorithm, what it effects or how it is failing.
