Hi John:

Yeah, RV's are the lowest common demonimator. You can get them to work with
multiple backends and you don't need any special knowledge of things like TSQL. I agree, sometimes RV's are a better fit.

>>If there is good evidence apart from "I did a SP app and boy it was fast" >>or "one of my clients had huuuuge problems with RV" then please could someone >>post it. In a way it would be nice if somebody could show that SPs are >>better.

Yeah, but IMO performance is not only reason for going the SP route. Its seems to really help organize application development.
