Yeah, it's a bit different. You can construct your queries such that that doesn't happen (and in the example case you probably should), but it could happen. Even if you did though, I still wonder if you could get in to trouble by merging the results, I don't have a good example, just a gut feeling that you could.

Well, with SQL, you get multiple results but each result has the same same data columns. With JNDI that need not be the case. The same query that gives you people could give you groups, computer accounts, etc., each with totally different data schemas. I worry that loosing that sort of contextual information and just mashing stuff together might lead to confusing results for people.


Ok, that sounds pretty different (in a "violates every rule of logical data
manipulation I could conceive of" way). I think I'll stick with SQL. ;-)
