I loath to admit it!!! but you are right. What Documentation? The first

Midas you can actually make a worthwhile SQL Server Dung Heep app by
implementing all the stuff that should be in the DB at the Middle Server.

True, Midas will isolate you from things a little, but at a huge cost - and
I'm not just thalking the license fee. It's not as easy as the demos and
documentation (HA! What documentation) make out.
