That was exactly my stance until a year ago. Then I started looking at using SQL. I quickly changed my mind; SQL is a better way to build a subfile. Especially when you can have a wildcard search and have mixed upper/lower case ordered like the rest of the world.

I put a few simple sql programs on my web site.

do not use sql I think it doesn't worth to work the subfile using sql. I
use all free format rpg with logicals that help me
on the search, however If any validation need to be done against those
fields like uppercase, check if it is a valid entry or things like this I
use sql as possible as I can.
