What you are saying is tantamount to saying that INSERT and DELETE statements are not part of the Structured *Query* Language (SQL). According to the SQL definition every database operation is a query. Hence the new name. In any case, the names are being changed a consistent and uniform naming convention for database operation functions. And this is a good thing. Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc.
