SQL comprises both (and, in addition, a "schema definition and manipulation language"). The query sublanguage of SQL is formed by the SELECT statements, only. I know, this is in contrast to, for instance, Microsoft jargon, where a data manipulation statement, such as an INSERT, is called a "query" (which is stupid)! -Gerd -------------------------------------------- Gerd Wagner Email: G.Wagner@tm.tue.nl http://tmitwww.tm.tue.nl/staff/gwagner
