The solution to this on some products (e.g., Sybase ASE) is to embed such logic in stored procedures. A stored procedure can generate an intermingled stream of results sets with different layouts and INFO, WARN, etc. lines. If we *had* stored procedures with such capabilities, I think that would be the direction to go; since we don't, I'm ambivalent. I don't suppose a stored procedure implementation is in the works anywhere? -Kevin
