David, >Nested tables is a > Good Thing(TM) though :)
Hmmm. I don't buy that they are an a priori Good Thing. What are they good for? I can't think of a single occasion in my 12-year database career where I found myself wanting one. Seems to me that, SQL standard or not, nested tables are just a jumbo-sized foot gun for new DBAs. And it's not like they'll be trivial to implement. -- --Josh Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
