I had a nice "discusssion" :-D with some folks a few months ago about the relative cost of using hard-coded SQL versus taking the time to do things in a way that I would call correct. In my opinion, there is going to have to be a very pressing argument for hard-coding SQL, meaning absolutely no other way to accomplish the task, before I will consider doing it in the universe.

I have a dummy 'ALL' object from th DUAL table in the universe and use this in a union query for the edited LOVs, better than hardcoding the SQL.

After reading your blog I was interested whether the same parameter exists in BO 6.5. And yes, it is there :-) No, I have not used it.
