Hey Rod,

Hand-coding SQL is an excellent suggestion and one I didn't
consider. I come from a PostGreSQL/MySQL background so that
shouldn't be difficult. But how is input obtained from the
user? For example, part of my assignment says query when
given the broker's first and last name returns all clients
managed by that broker. So a simple join occurs but does
the query editor have a placeholder that says hey when you
encounter this, go out and query the user?

Also, how do you find designing forms as that's a big part
of what I need to do?

Best,
Shane
