      This can be a lot of fun if you have to work with that :) Cheers

        SELECT [SELECT], [FROM], [TO], [WHERE], [ORDER] FROM [WHERE] WHERE [WHERE]='GROUP BY OR HAVING'


        This blanket smells like ham

          :laugh: This same schema just caught me again, as I have a policy of naming all my DAL parameters the exactly the same as the column names, which works Ok until a column that is called IsNew in a view is actually called 'new' in the table.

                I myself just created a table named Group. I also have a table named Parameter. And a field named When. But (so far) only I need to deal with them.

                      That reminds me of some fun I used to have (aeons ago) in Coral-66:

                      'FOR' FOR = 0 'TO' TO 'STEP' STEP 'UNTIL' UNTIL
                      'BEGIN'
                      BEGIN;
                      END;
                      'END'

                      something like that anyway - I can't remember the exact syntax

                        I once had to deal with a database that had dashes in the field names. That was the first time we ever had to lookup how to quote identifiers and were horrified to find that there was no standard. What worked on one system just made it a quoted string on another. :wtf: Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with catchup.
