Greg, As Paul Franks has said, all Borland (Inprise) products will give you the same local SQL (which is a very limited subset of SQL92). If you want more, you would have to setup your data in a proper client/server database like InterBase, for example. This will give you a much wider selection of SQL92, including all the commands you mention (I believe). A local InterBase package is included with most Borland products nowadays I believe. InterBase is known for its small footprint, ease of use, reliability and multi-generation (I think that's what they call it) architecture that allows a backup to be down _while_ users are using the database. As a point of interest - no database product in the world has implemented 100% of SQL92. Oracle, DB2, Informix, InterBase, etc. are all subsets of varying degrees. They all have their own extensions, too, especially for things like Stored Procedures. -- Geoff Wass Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia ============================================================= Please respond to a newsgroup posting by posting a reply (not e-mail).
