>>>Yeah, we use a parser class that builds the whole sql statement from objects created from metadata. ( I can't take credit for any of it, Mike and Toni wrote it all ) but it has the advantage of being very flexible and incorporating metadata props and any code you want to use in subclassed instances of the cursor, field or parameter objects.

In the last three years Mike and Toni and I have been doing all our development against SQL server so there has been a lot of thought about that, especially about means of minimizing wire traffic. ( for example bizobjs that use two cursors - one for the list returned by the parameterized view for further selection - it contains only fields needed to pick a record - and a data entry cursor that contains only one record but all the fields. Makes a huge performance difference in some cases )
I showed Mike that one. :)
