Hi,

Just made the update with a stored procedure. It looks like that the
stored procedure doesn't gives that much more speed benefit.

With the TQuery and CachedUpdates = FALSE and locate, insert/update
it was 32 sec
Now with the stored procedurs which handles the insert/update it
takes 29 sec.

Tom.
