AWESOME! Yep, that works and I like it better than using sys.options. Now to dive in and play with the Dialect.
Note, I will be uploading an unfinished dialect in my caraveldrill repo... the goal isn't a production ready thing, but a skeleton (based on the access one) of what a dialect is... The purpose is to evolve things as put it all in one area for people to work with. As of now, I have no clue how to trap statements with no FROM, but that's my first thing to work on :) Thanks for the help Veera!
