OK - and PMFJI - how about this

1 - I can do anything with an SPT cursor that you can do with an RV.
2 - I can do things with an SPT cursor and data management object that you can't do with an RV
3 - My SPT cursors will be faster on reads (thanks to less netwrok traffic and stored procs) and equal to RVs on writes (views are nothing but wrappers around SPT cursors anyway)

Thank you for your comments about SPT. I'm not sure why you refer to SPT when I was talking about SP.

>>all other arguments aside - this is enough reason ... I swear - some people would argue that the sky is green just because they can't see blue ...<<

Quite.
