Hi Aege,

No, I was refering to "where exists(select * from table2 T3
where T2.field1 = T2.field1)"
Which unless I have miss the point totally, which is very possible, you are
doing a comparison on the same field of the same table.

To solved the issue, I wrote an execute proc, but I am still interested in
your solution, as it would be much easier that what I have implemented.

Thank you

Daniel
