Re: ORDA and 4D selections

Good points. The primary disadvantage in my opinion is the loss of table and field referencing because queries and other functions embed everything in strings. Understanding or modifying a large code base (especially if you did not write it) is going to be a lot harder with ORDA versus tradition

Re: ORDA and 4D selections
