I dunno where the SAP hate comes from. In my days of AT&T, SAP was the best thing going on. It was the one thing that actually worked reliably. I loved using ABAP and SAPjCO[1] to do all kinds of cool things. I thought the design of SAP was amazing for the complexities it had to deal with. Of course, our HRP1001 table had over 8 million rows. Someone probably had to buy some very expensive hardware to keep SAP running fast. 1. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6f/1bd5c6a85b11d6b28500508b5d5211/content.htm http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6f/1bd5c6a85b11... P.S., I wish other programming languages would consider implementing a table variable like ABAP has; allowing me to run SQL against it. http://sap-core.com/articles/basis/abap/abap-variables/ http://sap-core.com/articles/basis/abap/abap-variables/
