I"m surprised you push MV at all. It seems you would have more success
with Oracle, DB2, or some other widely known/used platform.

Not that it matters much in your case, but QM is from a British
company.

Kevin,

Oracle, DB2, even MS-SQL with embedded tables do not handle "many to
many" relationships very easily, our contract file has over 250
attributes with 36 table lookups and 5 'sets' of Associated MV.

Our few competitors who use those have 10 times as many staff as we
do... simple, really, they can not compete on functionality or cost.

Nite,

Nick
