Create a (temp) table? Regards, Alastair.

Just wondering how one might replace that "inside" loop with a cursor. Thinking of a syntax along the lines of: DECLARE CursorName CURSOR (1,2,3,4,5) or: DECLARE CursorName CURSOR ARRAY(arg1,arg2,arg3) where at their simplest: arg1 = starting value arg2 = ending value arg3 = increment Thinking major speed improvement and code simplification with a cursor.
