You might have another glance at the onTap framework features. It handles most sql select statements with inner and outer joins and even character-column concatenation with a platform-independent syntax, in addition to managing dsn information and automating a lot of sql tasks (like formatting the orderby clause, case-insensitive filters and sorting -- useful since Oracle defaults to case-sensitive), etc... So once you get used to not working with ad-hoc queries directly, it's a real time-saver for keeping your applications db-independent. And it's been tested with the 4 databases you mentioned. s. isaac dealey 954.927.5117 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
