The resultset created by the above query is identical to srw.resultSetName=fish. Hence should the server be expected copy it or not? So really my question is: If, after all operations on it have taken place, a result set is identical to the original, should it be treated as a new result set? Maybe this question is just irrelevant and implementation dependant as you can never change a result set anyway? I'm not sure :) Rob -- ,'/:.
