    Thanks for the piece of code. Very nice. In the grand scheme of things the CTE query executes very quickly but happy to use a better solution.

    Great stuff.

    Have a good day.

    CTEs are great. It's the recursive ones that increment that are both a performance and resource usage problem.

    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.
