Thanks and you are right. I do need to work on that thoroughness/clarity issue. Details, details, details...
>You are right about the cursor. What threw me off was you're example used a view and it wasn't stated that it was read-only. You're example, IMHO, would have been clearer if you used a SQL-SELECT into a cursor. Good tip by the way.
