Klaus,

sorry for the delay, but I was restructuring the proposed design and I
wanted to have good news for you :-)

No problem, perhaps I should have written "community" but that's twice
as many chars ;-)

As I understand the notion of the database actions they are no general
purpose DBMS layer but for a very restricted set of operations. In my
view they exclude joins. Thus I consider the above a misuse of the
actions. Anyway, you are right that if you're aware of the limitations
this "misuse" or should I say "extended application" :-) does make
sense in many cases. So, I have introduced an attribute @alias which
has precedance over @name for naming parameters. It is also available
for table-sets to refer to a @alias instead of @name. (The @name in
<table-set><table name="xyz"/></table-set> is checked against @name
and @alias in <table>).

Thanks for your input.

        Chris.
