I'm no SQL guru (Duh!), but it was my understanding that a stored procedure
can be made to look like any other table to SQL, and thus to CLI, and
ultimately to ODBC.  Therefore, any of the methods you mentioned should be
able to handle these stored procedures transparently.

Something about returning a result set in the called program.  Am I way off
base here?  Because if I am, then stored procedures just lost a lot of their
luster to me.
