I suppose so, but I can't picture it. Shouldn't you always know the DB schema and format of what you're going to get back? I can see not knowing how many RECORDS you'll get back but I should think you would know how many FIELDS will be in each. Or maybe I'm just being too compulsive :-) % that'll be returned? You would not want to use _array() as you'll have the % duplicates to worry about / skip over. using _row() or _assoc() and just % looping through that will suffice. Oh, I can see that. It's the first half that still gets me. % % ---John Holmes...
