Thank you Ivan, this seems a reasonable and effective workaround, the
readability of the query benefits too.

OOC, what would be the problem? I assume you mean if the query *selects*
million rows... I have a few tables that are approaching that number of
records, but of course in normal cases the procedure above
operates/returns only a fraction of those. Anyway, you seem to imply
that there are other methods...

Thank you again,
