        Sorry to keep asking questions :-)

        Does this ODBC interface provide a good SQL interface? By good I mean
        supporting joins etc. And are  teh system manager alarms also stored in
        the new historian, or are they kept somwhere else?

        And again, thanks for the eduaction.

        We are contemplating upgradeing to the new historian, and are just
        trying to learn about the relatives strngths, and weakness of the two.
