>I have not yet done much of measurements of time comparison between one method or another. I am working on the "stored procedure" approach which - theoretically - should be the fastest. And honestly I am not much concerned about the speed of this procedure. This procedure will be done very infrequently so 10 seconds (or 1 minute) more or less won't make a difference. The reason I posted the question is to make sure that my "approach" will not impose unnecessary load on SQL Server and therefore upset a DBA.
