I thought I had tried that and it didn't work, guess I had my syntax wrong.

Well, faster is relative.  I am as concerned with programmers speed to
get something done as I am with the database's speed:)  If I can write
one line of SQL code to do all the work for me so I have to write less
C/C++ code, all the better! (This coming from someone that stayed
clear of SQL databases until the beginning of last year!)
