I'm impressed that your library has him. But, unless you are _very_
good with SQL, you're going to need more than a single weekend. Unless
by weekend you mean 48 hours of constant reading. I have a lot of his
books. They are excellent. They are _not_ for beginners. The "For
Smarties" portion is not just a play against the "For Dummies"
series. Joe does some high powered SQL. I am not, and never really
will be, an SQL expert. I love his books. But, at least for me, they
are an intense read.

Thanks for the warning John. No, I hold no illusion that I will completely solve this problem through two days of reading. What I meant is that I will have two days away from work to get some work done. What I hope to have by the start of next week is a better idea of what I am up against. I am glad that I realized this simple problem will require a complex solution before I got too far along, and I really appreciate the learning opportunities that have been offered here.
