I was thinking of going the same place you're saying, Ben. Yes it does complete with a smaller subset. I was thinking of adding a column to the table that I can mark with an "X" after the cursor completes, have the cursor say "where flagcolumn is null" and have it quit after say 10,000 rows. Yeah, kind of a pain in that someone would have to exit RBase, come back in and start it again (would also for sure have to turn it into a permanent table).
