>If the SELECT were to use the buffered data then two stations could run the same SELECT statement at the same time and get different results. I wouldn't call this a bug at all.

Jim,
Is'nt this exactly what would happen if a say 'COPY TO' was used from the view.. two stations would run the same copy at the same time and get two different results.

If it's ok for the Copy command, surely the same rules should apply for a SQL SELECT ?

If its not a bug, surely uou would agree that is is at least inconsistent ?

Regards,

Gerard
