The problem is likely not the Dynamic SQL... nor is it likely the fact that you are joining 6 tables... but it's real hard to figure out what it could...

Heh... yeah... and I'm still wondering why anyone would even use the term "bashing" in relation to what I posted. And I certainly wasn't trying to "eat at" anyone.
So, James,...

I'm not sure you're telling the whole story... if the 800 million rows is a staging table, of sorts, why not just add a "present" column to it and update...

Johnathan's code is good... but check the performance and resource usage when compared to the numbers-table solution that Remi squeezed off...
Hey Remi... nice loop on the table creation

Well, what say thee, James... I see at least 3 people that really wanna help you fix this... all you need to do is post the offending code.

Uh, Terry... if you think that's bad, wait until the world of hurt you run across when you try to do something a bit sophisticated in ISQL... ISQL is severly...
