I've always liked the Celko line of SQL for Smarties books. They are a
bit dated but nevertheless good.  There is a bit of a bias on Oracle
syntax, but over all I think they are fairly Ansi compliant SQL.

His earlier works have been the best but lately he has gotten a bit to
pedantic and annoying in other ways for my liking.

Thanks,
Regina

Dear Regina,

Watershed table has only one name per record. The first SQL that you 
proposed works very well.  However, the second SQL  is also very
interesting 
to understand for future analysis. Is there any guideline how to
assemble 
such complicated but useful  SQL.

best regards,

surya
