Personally, I haven't bothered to respond because when I read a post that says 'X sucks' I figure I'm not going to be dealing with someone rational. If you were to have strived to be educated rather than combatitive, I suspect a lot more people would have come to help.

I do know T-SQL quite well as well as PL/SQL. They're both fairly rich however PL/SQL is richer in its data type support -- which is very useful!
