Is this an "atomic" operation? If not, it would not work correctly if, for example, the first two "current_date" would be executed at 23:59:59.999 and the third "current_date" at 00:00:00.001. Of course, this is not a problem if you extract the data from a normal database date type field instead of "current_time". -Matt ------------------------------------ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Visit http://www.firebirdsql.org and click the Resources item on the main (top) menu.
