RE: Astonished by embedded sql

Since the original programmer is reading one record with an sql
statement with no ordering and then exiting, then a chain should get the
same record as he is getting anyways. Unless sql doesn't respect
LIFO/FIFO/FCFO.

<snip>
To answer the other question, a chain wouldn't work because the original
programmer must have thought that he could get multiple records from
this file based on the where clause. That being said, a regular I/O
setll and reade would have been just as good.
