    I think you meant "PK", not clustered index which can, of course, be different.

    Absolutely understood on the concerns over SELECT/INTO. I've build some huge tables with it over many minutes. So long as it's on the same server, I've not run into any problems even on busy servers. I definitely wouldn't use it across linked servers because it will sometimes "freeze" the source DB (and it was truly embarassing when that happened to me).

    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.
