clearly I over reacted. I was thrown by the "major re-write" comment. Sounds
like it was a major re-write to the one routine, which is actually a golden
and good example of bundled code reuse.

the mistake is perfectly understandable. reusable components can really
speed up development time and ease maintenance. they just didn't know
database architecture. method 4 dynamic sql stored in the database is the
best way to go here... i think. these updates may run 250,000 times a day.
i'll have to check to see how well dbms_sql works under that level of usage.
wasn't a fight. i found it in a code review. everyone was perfectly
reasonable.
