Well that's basically what I'm doing, but it's in a framework so re-use is key. You don't put this after each task-specific SQL; that's why I had that subroutine. (Am I showing my age there? Does anybody say 'subroutine' anymore??? Reminds me of learning FORTRAN in the LATE 80s at Penn State!)

"subroutine" is a perfectly good word. So is "procedure".

I love explaining OOP as procedural programming where the procedure calls might not be obvious.
