Thank you very very much, Edgar.

Speaking as someone who's temperament has been excessively challenged this week trying to grasp views, Amen!

I posted elsewhere something I caught today that I humbly submit in addition to your list:

When you create your sql view programmatically, if you inadvertantly mark a field as a key field, AND updateable, the data won't update. And, worse, you won't get an error.

Can you say you _like_ views now?

>A View from (me) newbie.


Ditto on the gratitude!
