P.S. I don't want to sound resistant to the idea of re-writing everything from scratch (but, really, I am a little resistant because of my deadlines). A couple of other facts I forgot to put in:

I need to create a handful of other new reports (with all the variations/flavors/details they might need) in our current database. Then, I'll need to upgrade that script to run against our new database once it's migrated from Sybase to Oracle, and from an old version of PeopleSoft to a new version of PeopleSoft.
