    Oh yeah... almost forgot... the method I described that uses multiple tables, a constraint, and a view to make a "partitioned" view, is being deprecated. If you have no SQL Server 2000 installations to support in this manner, consider using a "partitioned table", instead. The problem with that is that it won't work on the Standard Edition of SQL Server... you need the Enterprise Edition for production.

    I guess that's reason #5 for NOT doing it that way. 😉

    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.
