Re: .NET Managed Provider and Multi-member Files

Multi-member files is a foreign SQL concept.  You need to create an SQL
ALIAS for each member in the table and then
use the alias name instead of the table name.

lib/table1(member1) becomes lib/table1m1

The SQL ALIAS is created as a DDM file.

I am attempting to use the .NET managed provider in Visual Basic.NET to
retrieve data from a multi-member file.  I've been searching the
documentation and the archives without locating a way to do this.  Surely
there is some way to specify the member name containing the records to be
retrieved?

I've tried "library/filename(member)" and "library.filename(member)"
without success.  There is also apparently no way to specify the naming
convention to be used (SQL or System), but I guess that's a different
question.

If anyone has an idea how this can be done, I would greatly appreciate your
insight.  I have a workaround, but it's a bit ugly.
