Helen,

Yes, you precisely understand. Even with Firebird 1.5 and all other
Interbase, etc. relation alias is now the standard when they are used. If I
don't get them from the server I parse them out of the SQL. That's why this
required a lot more work now than I anticipated because I wanted to keep
everything uniform. Having it the defacto way for things to be handled
makes for a little bit (I know, for some a lot) of migration pain but then
this is a dead issue and I won't have to carry the overhead of it being any
other way. It's a judgment call I made with the long-term consistency and
health of the product.

Obviously I didn't make this as clear as I should have because you never
seem to miss a beat. I'm glad we are resolving this.

Regards,
Jason
