Thanks so much for your reply Mr. Modden. I got the Developer edition a while back when I knew there were things I wanted to play with that I best not do on our production server. What a great deal on that software! Got mine for $44 Amazon Prime. I have a half a dozen db's now on my laptop. Such as, Adventure Works, JProco( Currently doing the Joes2Pros series labs from Rick Morlean) and several I have created. I even have one named after the wife :hehe:. Along with the books and labs I'm working on I also try to make a point of reading at least 1-2 SQL blogs or articles a week.

On the million record test data... I know what I'm doing today:-D

Thanks again,

Thomas
