    Now THIS was the exact answer I was looking for.

    The article you referred to did not really go much beyond what I started with.

    Thanks a million for drawing my attention to the issue of a NULL - I had not seen it coming.

    Super !

    INTERSECT and EXCEPT (and, IIRC, UNION and UNION ALL) all treat NULLs as NULL = NULL, as well.

    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.
