A "mapping" is a boondogggle. Want do see the example again? SQL splits itself neatly into update and query. They are two different problems. SQL has a clean query solution for XML already. The update part is all that is missing. -- Alan / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / http://engrm.com/ aim/yim: alanengrm - icq: 228631855 - msn: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
