I don't think so. That's the way I've done it. You may want to experiment with changing the SELECT on the inside query to minimize the amount of data that gets put into the temp table. I don't know if the optimizer is smart enough to skip fetching those values or not. - Perrin -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
