Greetings Anjo and Dave,
It does answer the question.  Ouch.  

For one paper, I can use D2W with the session based components to demonstrate 
the point and test the business logic.     

The D2JC route that Dave is suggesting may be a useful solution.   The size of 
this database may be a prohibitive factor.     In this case, what I would need 
the D2JC app to do is literally read information out of the ugly database , 
organize the data in a pretty way, and copy the data into the pretty database.  
  Does D2JC allow for console type applications?  In this case, it would be 
nice to use it in conjunction with a cluster/ grid.


A D2JC lesson would definitely be nice.   I hear that Northern Virginia is 
having such a thing coming up next Tuesday.   If we could work the iChat 
telecom, we could probably work that.

In any case, if I get this working it would make one heck of a success story 
for the WO community.


Thank you,
