Jeremy,

One more question(s).  Probably not the last.

A lot of these stored procs have a standard of returning a single
record with a single column with an error message in it.  I'd like to
capture this in a Sequel::Model class. Can you have Sequel::Model not
be associated to a database table?  How would you cast (not the right
word) the dataset created from the call_sproc to this Sequel::Model
class?


Thanks,

GregD
