    Would using sp_MSdependencies provide a way for managing that? (I don't see a way to handle it without iterative processing, though it can at least be done using WHILE rather than a cursor)

    Heh... I suppose... haven't used sp_MSdependencies in a long time. If you do use sp_MSdependencies, then your actually using a loop anyway. 😀

    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.
