There are very few "always better" (or always worse...or just always in general) circumstances in programming. My initial response was asking why the original poster was storing a delimited string in a relational database. I think it's a fair question. I think that if you find yourself heading in that direction, you should question it. If the answer is, "in this case it makes sense to do it", then off you go and God bless. I wasn't trying to chide or scold. But while there are very few to no "always" situations...there are certainly a number of situations of which you should be aware...and if you find yourself in any of those situations...ask yourself the question. I think that's reasonable :) -- Charlie Griefer ================================================ "...All the world shall be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.
