As long as I'm posting, here's a question for Del.  There is one glaring
omission in the TDP client for SQL Server, namely the lack of any command
that would expose Microsoft's RESTORE VERIFYONLY command.  This command
saves tons of time in verifying backups, since it greatly simplifies the
process.  Are there any plans by IBM to build something into the TDP Client
for SQL Server that will let us run this command?  It really doesn't seem
like it should be very hard to do, and it's a big enough omission that
initially we considered scrapping TDP for SQL because of it - and we still
consider this from time to time.  It's really an integral part of the T-SQL
backup and restore API.

Thanks for any response,
Chris
