IIRC, UDTs are not usable in native I/O so that's one consideration to keep
in mind.
Unless something's changed lately, they are usable in SQL but you'll need to
create custom UDFs.

For those 2 reasons, I'm not a proponent of UDTs.

Eric,

Thanks for mentioning UDTs. I've seen them mentioned but have not worked
with them before.
