the error is: table sp_small_vpa is unknown. of course, it is not a table but
it's a store procedure.
i just wonder if Firebird allowed select from sp in a view or not?

I'm still using 1.0 though.

well, I confuse how to JOIN between a store procedure and a table?
since sp_small_vPA is a store procedure and evalcattab is a table.
I tried to use an alias for sp_small_vPA. but it still not working. i guess,
the problem is as I ask the above, how to JOIN between sp and table.

TIA,
