It's worth noting too that I use disconnected cursors (like Charlie

Coleman's approach from the late 1990s!). Backend is MySQL and I

basically just use the current app handle (or re-establish if not

connected) and perform the add/edit/delete. So it's not like I have to

worry about updateable views or anything like that. My own framework is

all SPT calls.
