John, random thought: Object fields aren't supported in 4D's SQL. So any
SQL-specific features and such are completely meaningless for ojject
fields. And by "not supported" I don't mean ignored. If you do

SELECT * FROM MyTableWithAnObjectField;

4D freaks out because there's an object field. At least as late as R3.

This has come up a few times here and other people have looked at this in
detail. (I think that Jeff Kain, at thel least, has the details.) In my
case, I had to rewrite my ugly little SQL browser to scan the field list
for object fields and remove them from statements. That's okay for my
needs, but I'm not using 4D's SQL for anything real any longer.
