I'm not using buffering on the view, it is pointing to a temporary table on SQL Server - when finished, I fire a remote stored procedure to do the update internally on SQL (including dropping and rebuilding indexes).

I only asked for an SPT way because I feel like I'm 'stepping back' using the view - I would rather do it with SPT if this was possible. Just exploring all the avenues!
