Well, I look at the DB Schema value when I am going dircectly to the database, though I usually only check if things will be there, not if the number is _higher_ than I expect which could result in some trouble. And so it would here. What I don't get is that SQL query interfaces are very complex buggers, though if you want a simple "get me this column" query you can simplify that. However, SQL libraries are available for just about every language out there specifically to solve this problem. _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
