Every database package has SOME way to do this. It's practically criminal that db vendors won't standardize the mechanics. SQL-92, SQL-99, SQL-2002 (2004? whatever it was) they STILL can't sit down and come up with a single mechanism? One of the most basic fundamental database needs, never standardized. Probably never will be. Sigh. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want? I want you to buy a CD from some starving artist. http://cdbaby.com/browse/from/lynch Yeah, I get a buck.
