David, I don't totally understand what you're trying to get at but based on what you've said I'm pretty sure I'm not doing anything that you dislike. Specifically, I'm not sure why you think I said the operations would be retrieving all attributes of all instances. I specifically tried to say the opposite in that the attributes being returned would be limited. -- "The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it." -- Terry Pratchett
