Assuming the example is actually representative of the data, partitioning with row_number() may be a feasible alternative to pivoting or cursors. But it would probably still require a bit of fancy footwork in terms of sql. Having said that, Brad raises some valid questions about the data. Is it really that small and simple a recordset, and if so what is the perceived advantage of doing it in sql over using CF ? -Leigh ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
