I can hardly believe everybody seems to take this statement for granted (jdo and jcr APIs are ofcourse totally redundant since you can write your own fine sql statements, and of course, sql is a brilliant strong specification, so when you have it running for oracle, you can switch automatically without effort to mysql, derby, hsqldb, sql server)...anyway, if everybody wants to write sql, do many xsl transformations and take the burden of maintaining sql statements, be my guest :-) Regards Ard --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
