Great!
That is what I thought just wanted to confirm.

I found it.
I didn't do enough research / searching to find the above.
Wow it's quite a list compared to VDB's local command set.
I'm very happy to know that when time allows I can do some serious SQL stuff

database server with a of course a client/server app.

Thanks
