I think it would be good practice to keep both queries and their related TypeConversions in the same header file. But of course even this isn't enough to ensure queries don't break - the database itself can always change :-) But using select * is another precaution that gives some added protection from database changes.

Surely you mean "... NOT using select *..."? I've always considered it a best practice not to use select * in any production code. Is there another perspective on this? - James Jones Administrative Data Mgmt. Webmaster 375 Raritan Center Pkwy, Suite A Data Architect Edison, NJ 08837
