<div style="background-color:"><p>If it is necessary for you to comapre each row with a list of 26 possible values
(VARIABLES)in the IN clause and not do a replacement of all values in column1 with "0" as suggested previously, you
mightwant to place the 26000 variables in a temporary table that is either sorted physically in the required search
order,or indexed, then place a select on the IN clause from that table.<p>I'm not surprised it's taking a long time to
runthe update. Firstly, it's an update, and secondly, for each of the 26000 rows in the table, it is comparing with
26000variables, so it is doing 26000 x 26000 "selects".<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><p>Adrian<p>ICQ
