Re: Referencing Problem/bug?

If you format the table deffintions like this:

create table name(
col1_name col1_type col1_qualifiers,
col2_name col2_type col2_qualifiers
);

-----OR EVEN BETTER------

create table name(
col1_name col1_type col1_qualifiers,
col2_name col2_type col2_qualifiers
);

You will get more takers for helping you.
