Jon:
I'm sort of assuming that if we go to SQL Server, some changes will be required and I've done what you do in another life at another company.
I know that the SQL Server has tables "included" (whatever that means). If I do a SQL select for a table that doesn't exist, I'll get an error returned, right? I guess that means the table has not yet been added to the database.
BTW, You must regularly play drums to be able to play as long as you did at the Jam sessions. And you were very good!
