Dmitry,

A view and a cursor generated by SQL pass-through are really almost the same thing.

From what I hear (just went to MSFT seminar on COM+) the definition of the tiers and the actual location of the parts is a rather fluid thing. In any case, its beyond my expertise at this point, but I'm learning!

What functionality in data transfer must be assigned to each tier? Big questions, I think and it is reason I asked about articles, books etc.
