I didn't say I was the only one in the block.


>As for deleting fields etc, those with lots of customers shudder when they read this. You *need* automated handling tools if you are changing backend stuff all the time and have lots of clients. Whether those automated tools rebuild RVs or restate SPs is not a useful "argument" against either.

I'am not against any of them I just think someone can use either, so i'ts not Black or White, not both, it can be Black, White or Grey.


>For us, we use xCase, define views in the model, and let xcase handle it all. Works beautifully. And we can create scripts for oracle, sybase, SQL Server or Interbase with a click of a button; the resulting table check script and RVs work just fine. We win more business by not demanding that customers use the backend we have tied ourselves to with SPs.

Yes, I just thought of xCase to solve that problem but I don't have it but I know it is a wonderful tool. (If I just could have it...)
