Darn, I guess I'm going to show more ignorance than I'd hoped :) I'm not familiar with that. 20 years of developement work all on the .dbf side of things, evidently has left me short. I have programmed with the various linux sql engines (mysql, postgre, etc.) for a couple of years now, but have not spent much time agianst the big guns like Oracle, M$, etc. Time to get the books out again I guess. Thanks for your response.
