Most of our files are defined using DDS. But all new files are defined
as SQL tables.

I have grey hair so I like DDS. But some kind of fields can not be
defined in DDS (like blob I think). If only for that, I agree with our
choice of SQL.

Hey, I just thought of something. Do most people still use DDS for
file
descriptions or have you moved to SQL tables? I can see pros and cons
for
both. Thoughts?
