That would get my vote. One of the benefits of having the gateway objects is that you can alias columns (and whatever other transforms you want) and present a consistent view of the data - even if the schema changes, you can often just modify the gateway object's SQL so that the rest of the application doesn't need to change (except where you need to add code to handle specific new columns perhaps). -- Sean A Corfield -- http://corfield.org/ Got frameworks?
