is there a better way?
for reasons not defined by me, i cannot constrain the data in the
locations table with unique(ref,ts)
that said Microsoft mappoint craps out if there are duplicate values in
the ref column.
so i need to create a view which returns locations.* for the row which
contains the max(ts) group by ref.
