>>Not really an answer to your question, but, I have always used where 1=2 to do this. No data is returned but you still get an empty cursor with all the structure. Seems like I read somewhere that database engines optimize where 1=2 so it should be very fast.
Awesome tip- it really flies now!
Thanks a lot, James.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
