    @ Jeff

    Thanks again for the input. Its nice to know this can be done but in the end, I made the developer cave and follow a normalized schema that I designed, because of two main reasons: (1) the DBA was seeing some performance spikes, and two I was getting inconsistent data from the dev.

    That's absolutely the best path and I normally try to work that type of thing out with data providers no matter who they are. It does sometimes involve a "Pork chop dinner" but usually more gentle negotiations are sufficient. Thanks for the feedback.

    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.
