RE: SQL Query of spool file data

True Rob, although the current term for what your describing can be somewhat
loosely called "denormalizing".

Subject: Re: SQL Query of spool file data

People often use snapshots of data. One may summarize sales or GL data into
tables that are faster and/or easier to query. Or to put on another
platform's database for querying.
So getting a 'snapshot' of data off of a spool file is not necessarily "bad
practice". Especially considering all the intense processing involved in
some spool files.
