So, yeah, _adding _data_to_a_table_ says to me in my *simple* understanding that if he doesn't have the table, then COPY TO or SELECT...INTO TABLE would be appropriate. If he did have the table, then those methods would *really* not work well, and an APPEND FROM would be a better start.

Uh, yeah. That was the point of my question!

Uh, yeah. Ditto.

Yup. You got me there--drat on that psuedo code confusion.

Please forgive me if I've misunderstood your tone, otherwise...Oh well! :-)
