Yes, Bert. The concluding and underlining problem is with SQL. What one has to take in consideration is the code written to make the calls to use SQL and the database.

For example: programmer 1 has written code (a function or method call) to query the demographics table from a SQL database may not be in the same style (logic), as programmer 2, that has written code for the prescription writer, which has to make similar query calls to the same SQL database.

In other words, the programming is inconsistent, or off base. If programming standards are not followed throughout a product design or enhancement, things could get real ugly. Optimization problems like speed and performance will take a huge hit. I?m just speaking from experience.

The good news is I believe they will get it right. It?ll take a little time and cleaning up.

P.S. Bert, you have a Ferrari of PCs my friend. You are completely exempt from all topics about speed and performance. smile
