    hmm

    well, I must have highlighted the top line...

    because I re-ran, and deleted 1 row with:

    delete shipping_data

    where order_no='1000002'

    and running;

    delete shipping_data

    where order_no=1000002

    produced an error: "Conversion failed when converting the varchar value"

    which makes sense..it IS a char type after all...

    thanks fellers..

    NP. Thank you for figuring out what you did because it means that it's not an MS bug that you came across.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
