1. From what I explained, does it feel that I am approaching the
solution in a wrong way?

I probably would not have done it your way. I tend to go for set-based
operations if possible. It takes a lot to convince me a set-based
operation
is not possible. Ican't make heads-nor-tails of your explanation so I
cannot
say if a set-based operation is possible in your situation.

I'm going to highjack this thread for a moment.

I use the term "set-based solution" a lot, but just now you got me thinking
that maybe I don't know what I'm talking about... <g>

A 'set-based' solution is one where you do all the fetch and filter up front
to retrieve a sack of stuff or at least as much of the stuff as you can that
answers all the requirements. A 'non-set-based' solution is where you grab
various bags or stuff and then enumerate through the bags one or more times
to gleam the information. Or is there more I'm missing? <g>
