Hello Richard,

Is there a way to do something similar with the following? I am an SQL noob and the
following takes longer to run than is reasonable, on the order of hours.

insert into myevents select * from t_unit_event_log a where exists
        (select b.event_log_no from myevents b
         where a.event_status = 1 and a.event_ref_log_no IS NOT NULL
                and a.event_ref_log_no = b.event_log_no and a.event_log_no not in
                        (select event_log_no from myevents)
        )

Thanks,
Steve
