"You can use cursors in SQL - and some 3rd party products have a proven
track record of translating image calls onto SQL calls on the target
database - but you would have to seriously consider the overhead of such
an approach."

While it is true that if you tried to run  the same application on HP 3000
hardware using a RDBMS with cursors, the performace would likely be dismal,
computers are commodity items today.  You can get high performance computers
that run UNIX, Linux and Windows that are very inexpensive.  Our toolset,
SunGard Bi-tech Transport is in use in hundreds of installations with good
performance.  Cursors are used underneath.  Therefore, it has not been our
experience that the above is an issue.
