    Additionally, I use an integer field in the table to allow queries easily to span segments that include differing years. The integer opens the door to arithmetic operations for query construction.

    Example:

    SequenceNumber TimeKey

    11 201111

    12 201112

    13 201201

    14 201212 & C.

    Sorry for the late response but I lost track of this thread. A recent post to it "found" it for me.

    What kind of "arithmetic operations" have you actually used against that column and what do they do?

    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.
