How do you build a piece of SQL code that will use the Count aggregate function to delete records? =========Not sure you can. That's why I asked. :) I was just thinking -- can you save the number of matching records to a variable. Also, can you run a DELETE with TOP? If so, perhaps you could do something like countvar = SELECT Count(*) blah, blah, WHERE MyCode = value DELETE TOP countvar - 1 I don't know if TOP with DELETE is allowed and if you went this route, you'd need a sp to store countvar. This may be total nonsense in T-SQL. Susan H.
