Then here's a rare treat for you! I *loved* SQL mods in RDB. I could make a program in MACRO, BASIC, FORTRAN, BLISS, Ada, DIBOL, or Mladen's favorite COBOL, and could effortlessly have them do DB work. I also didn't have to hunt thru all the source for a single SQL statement since they were in their own file(s). No tricky and time-consuming compiler-specific format-specific precompilers. Just SQueaL.
Of course, this was the year 5 BD (Before DBA). It'd be mildly interesting to go back and look at the process now.

Not with Oracle though. It's rare for me to run into someone else who likes that approach. Actually, it's rare for me to encounter someone who's even heard of it...
