What rule/standard is there that states that a record selection expression (in a view or trigger) cannot contain a sorted-clause. define view emp of e in employees ... etc etc ... sorted by e.emp_no e.emp_no e.emp_name ; Rdb/Vms is a database that supports such a feature as well as a first-n clause which allows one to restrict the number of rows ( a frequent question I see on the net).-- Nigel Campbell Voice: (613) 783-6828 P.O.
