    Heh... deletes make me nervous, anyway... constitutes some form of lost data. I don't use cascade deletes because I want people to have to work at doing deletes. Would rather they learn to archive and then conscienciously delete in the correct order.

    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.
