Amen! If any of my requests were interpreted as demands or questions
perceived as criticism, I apologize. All I was looking for was
information so I could make an informed decision (and I like to
argue). I appreciate and admire anyone who is willing to provide me
with something useful for free.

When I said I learned a lot from these posts I wasn't kidding. I
thought I had a pretty good working knowledge of indexing and
databases but now I have a lot to think about. When a bunch of
programmers tell me a particular method is superior to the way I've
been doing it, I would never dimiss it because its unfamiliar. I've
been wrong too many times to do that...
