Oh well.
Thanks - again.
Mike

P.S. Just for my own understanding ...
Wouldn't the backend have to know which table and schema(=db) the column came
from just to be able to parse the query for execution?  I would have thought
this is the case and it just that the current protocol does not provide for
this info to be 'released' to the client end.
