Are you interested in doing this and just seeing if there are objections? You have brought it up a couple times and no one is responding. If you think there might be objections maybe it needs a new thread? If it delivers a performance win then I think we should do it. I do not think null column values are going to waste enough disk space to be a concern. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
