Hello Tom,

http://racster.blogspot.com/2006/08/dataphor-sql-table-this.html

I think your too bright not to see thru what sql is selling:)
After you work with a 'relational' db you'll see that 'this'
or 'that' dialect is not the issue. Perhaps you'll give it a try.

best,
steve

I don't really have any major problem with what you are saying.  And if this
were a computer language theory newsgroup, I minght even agree with you.
But it's not and it is not a newsgroup for relational database theory.  It
is (IMHO) a newsgroup for solving programming problems in MS SQL Server.  So
I am only interested in calling it whatever would be most useful to the OP -
who, it turns out, is using Sybase, so he's in the wrong newsgroup too :-).

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this.

Tom

Hi Tom,

I appreciate your response and appreciate what your saying.
But I'm not p-----g in the wind :) I'm working with D4 now.
Yes, I'm trying to sell people on the idea of starting to work with
Dataphor.
You can work with sql server at the same time. I use sql server as
a data respository. But you can still query sql server 'directly' from
dataphor if
you want in sql server's very own sql:) So you get the best of
both worlds:)
C'mon, you know how many rocks you gotta turn over before you strike it
rich:)

best,
steve
