Mark, The "new" behaviour only brings VFP into line with standard ANSI standards. It is VFP that previously had its own standard(s). However the standard behaviour can simply be made equivalent to the old method and when you look at it closely the standard is more logical.
Dave Crozier -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Stanton Sent: 02 September 2007 21:42 To: [email protected] Subject: SQL "improvements" I'm guessing that the new enginebehaviour whereby a group by clause must include all the fields that are selected is to follow a new SQL standard, is that right? Regardless of the source, why is this considered an improvement? It seems to me to reduce my options for querying. I can imagine that it's to "protect coders from themselves", but that's the only excuse for it that I can come up with, and I don't want to be protected from myself. Any thoughts?
