Re: [SQL-Ledger-users] Drop Column?

[Thomas S. <ps...@on...>]

Hal-

Thats okay, I like details :)

So are you looking to port the Progress 4GL product or enhance an existing
product like SQL-Ledger to meet your requirements?

11 taxes! Man, they get you coming, going, and every way in between!
I was thinking about the taxes in SQL-Ledger, and to create a better,
highly flexible system. I can't figure out a way to take in every tax
possibility in a straight foward non-complex fashion. How do you handle
it now?
