From a coding standpoint it's a lot easier than setting up gobs of logical 
files.....from a performance standpoint, you better set up gobs of indexs!

                subject: RE: SQL under the covers
                
                I might have messed up my example, and as I think about it 
more, I really am
                trying to peek under the covers at execution time.  In simple 
terms, I'm
                wondering how I debug a complex SQL statement that doesn't 
work, and I guess
                there's no easy way to do it.  Sometimes the SQL error messages 
make you
                think.
                
                If none the CASE statements evaluate as true in this example, 
no sort is
                performed.  This logic works in several of my programs of 
varying shapes and
                sizes; it makes a very cool we-don't-need-no-stinkin'-Windoze
                point-and-double-click-to-sort application.  Green-screen folks 
accustomed
                to limited order-of-data choices love it, and from a coding 
standpoint it's
                a lot easier that setting up gobs of logical files.
