If adding 400 records slows down the system, I guess it is time to take a hard look at your set-up and see where the problems are occurring by measuring and analyzing the waits in the database.
How did you establish that balancing indexes causes the delay? No matter what kind of solution you implement, I'd still look at the waits that you see during these inserts, that will explain the problem to you. To me, 400 rows causing problem hints at a bigger problem than one visible. Raj ______________________________________________________ Rajendra Jamadagni MIS, ESPN Inc.
