    Which is why I don't quite understand the "definitely not!" 🙂

    You may have missed the word before that phrase.

    "The average of those isn't 'definitely not'"

    Yep, sure did :blush:

  • RE: INSERT Table into ITSELF???? WHY???

    Would it "ever not do that"?

    The INSERT could fail if it ran out of physical file space to hold the new rows.

    They definitely could. The WHERE conditions determine...
