Hello.<br>I have a table with about 100,000 records in it, this table will be accessed by users from the internet, in order to allow users to browse through the contents of this table I needed to create a SortID column (this is an int field that I number according to the description field). <br>My problem is that it takes way too long to resort (or reindex) this field with the stored procedure I got (I using a cursor to loop and renumber the fields)<br>If anybody has an idea that would help me I would be very grateful (any ideas welcome).<br>Thank you.<br><br>Ian.<br>

Ian, I'm unsure of why you need to reindex.<br><br>Can you not just SELECT <fields> ORDER BY <field>?<br><br>You could also try reducing the number of fields in your table. For only 100,000 records though the performance increase may be minimal unless your table is very wide.<br>
