Sami: We do not get into arguments at this list <g> LOL...we have intelligent discussions that enlighten and make us all better developers. I can honestly say that I have learnt something new from every "discussion" in the list, the day we stop "discussing" we stop learning. Javier,

In a command file, there is NO notice or indication of a difference. I'm not looking to get into an argument - I just spent a couple of hours trying to determine how and why an expression on a temporary table was evaluating incorrectly when I had already fixed it once - but obviously in a different table. I had a level of understanding in my mind about engine restrictions and I'm simply trying to get a handle on how other developers handle this.
