These are the same in function, Rich, but not implementation. Using a FOR clause is fine if you are confident that no other users will be adding records to the table duringthe execution of your command. But since REPLACE and DELETE, when used with the FOR clause lock the table header, other users will be prevented from adding records to the table during the execution of the command. So, sometimes, even though it mightn't be as fast, a SCAN loop is desirable.
