For info : the latest revision of SQLA1.50 (http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/svnweb/bast/browse/SQL-Abstract/1.x/branch es/1.50_RC/) together with the DBIC patch from mendel (http://scsys.co.uk:8001/20236) fixes most problems. Still have to look at failures in t\95sql_maker_quote and t\96file_column Best regards, Laurent Dami
