We are a small insurance company in Chicago Area that uses MSQ sql server
as our database.  We recently HAD to upgrade to version 4.21A because we
added 10 new users to the system and could not buy a license upgrade.  We
were told that we had to buy the new client side licenses and upgrade the
server (nice money maker for you, like you don't already have enough) and
I must say that about HALF of my queries had to be rewritten.  The
inbedded sub selects did not work, the use of a where close in summary
reports is now shakey, the list goes on and on.  I can not beleive that
the system is even remotely SQL complient.  Has anyone else had this
problem.  Also, I can now get some stored procedures to fail with a server
memory, read write violation on our two CPU production machne but not our
test bed one processor machine.  Great, nothing like paying extra money
for a test machine when the results are not consistant over two different
computers.  Next time, I will convince the company to speend the money on
a system that has a better track record.  The money they spend up fromt
will be saved in reengineering upgrade costs.
