Steve Sweeney & I are having a discussion on the pros/cons of using: 

DROP REPORT reportname 
vs. 
DELETE ROWS FROM SYS_REPORTS3 WHERE #1 = reportname


Since earlier versions of R:BASE for Windows came out, DROP REPORT
reportname would delete reports from both the DOS and Windows versions of
R:BASE, so I started using DELETE ROWS FROM SYS_REPORTS (or SYS_REPORTS2 or
SYS_REPORTS3) depending on the version I wanted to drop.  And this always
seemed to accomplish what I intended without apparent problems.

Steve has posed the question, what happens to the LOB data if you just
delete the rows from the SYS_Reports2 or Sys_Reports3 table?  Does it stay
in the RB4 file forever and ever?

Curious minds want to know -
