if im reading your code right... looks like your overriding in an anonymous block. in
most OO languages overriding is done by a child class. i dont see any subclassing
here? didnt they add sub-types and 'extends' to 9.2?
btw, are you using object oriented design in your database? How efficient do you find
that?
