Re: QGLDSVR won't end

Precisely

I've thought that the 3-letter "words" are derived using something like 
SOUNDEX principles - not all, mut bost. Please don't beat me up here - I 
know that I don't know that much about soundex. But leave out most 
vowels, and leave out sounds that contribute little to the understanding.

In this case, SVR is almost the word, "server" - the first R is almost 
silent, and all vowels other than initial ones are dropped.

SerVeR --> SVR

That does not quite work for me with service and SRV,

It also does not help that SOUNDEX('Service') in SQL comes out as S612 
and 'Server' as S616

OK - time to learn what I'm talking about - hope a little of this was on 
point.
