(About the author)

It is now possible to get any environment variable through SQL with this simple stored procedure. Unfortunately, there is apparently no "cleaner" way to do it. Enclosing the plumbing in a stored procedure surely cleans it up a little.

This is helpful, thanks. I found it 
helpful to select everything from the 
temporary table to see what was all 
available.

Even though it's an "ugly" way of doing 
it, it is the "only" way...  This code 
also helped me do some tricky stuff.
