The thing is that generally when you don't understand something you tend to follow up with a question... such as I don't understand that, or I don't think that applies to me because of xyz. sometimes you need to repeat yourself because this is an email list and not a forum where you can simply just tell people ... doh... read the 3 messages above. etc. John would have liked hand crafted examples that matched his situation where he could have lifted the code and plopped it down on his screen. I know I at the time was too busy with my day job to provide very detail responses, but tried to provide him with keywords and links to articles that answered his questions, sometimes that ment that he would have had to write his own sproc, I know how scary that can be especially since he has that gargantuam database and the last thing he wanted to do was to run a useless query that would possibly take days to run, and not have a result. Unfortunately for him he chose the wrong time to learn more about sql server while taking on such a huge project. -Francisco http://sqlthis.blogspot.com | Tsql and More... 2009/3/30 Robert L.
