Hello Mark,
So fast on the trigger! What do you do, have a notification bell ring
whenever something is posted on this newsgroup? :P
Your solution worked perfectly... I'm used to regular ol' SQL and what
you've just shown me is amazing; I didn't know SQL had these
capabilities. rank, over and partition are new to me. Do you have any
book recommendations?
Regards,
Anthony
