Actually, I use them quite extensively...I have several WWW-based
search directories that are searched with:
select oid,<fields> from <table> where <search conditions>;
That display minimal data to the browser, and then if someone
wants more detailed information, I just do:
select * from <table> where oid = '';
Its also great if you mess up the original coding for a table and
want to remove 1 of many duplicates that you've accidently let pass
through :(
