My 2 cents worth...
I HATE arrays now after trying to maintain someone elses code. They used 279
arrays that are PUBLIC. Every table, index, cursor & control is stored in an array. Even some of the array names are stored in other arrays. It's a horror to maintain. There must have been this style posted somewhere on the net 'cause I've seen this 3 times in different applications.

I prefer cursors unless the ONLY solution is an array.
