Re: SQL in SQR

IMHO

The drawback of arrays is also that you hace to specify an upper bound limit
and SQR will allocate that much of memory. So, arrays don't turn out to be
dynamically extendable and also I loose the wonderful DMLs facility on
arrays. I do believe arrays have their own place, but the flexibility
offered by TEMP tables is much much more to overlook the required
maintenance. Another drawback, arrays are linear ...

Are you sure you need to create TEMP tables?  Would ARRAYS work with your
scenario??  ARRAYS are generally quicker than tables, require no
DBA/security clearance, and are temporary by nature.
