| Her is what I'd like to do:- Create and populate a table- Index it on a 'reference' field- Then update the table by using the index but WITHOUT updating the index (I'd like to have it available for the WHERE clause but I don't need to updtae it)- Eventually, i'd like to re-index the whole tableIs that possible?Thank you for your help... |

| This is not possible. You can't "freeze" the index for the UPDATE portion and not for the WHERE clause.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |

| I'm missing something here:if you were able to prevent the Index being changed during the Update how would the index be any use for a subsequent Where - because the index would now be inaccurate?Kristen |
