    Thank you for you answer, Karl.

    But I do not want to rename the table and then insert the data to the new table.

    When you have big tables this approach is slow.

    Are there no alternatives?

    How many rows? How many indexes? What is the PK? Any FK's?

    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.
