I guess technically those don't involve a context switch however they're not exactly the 'pure sql' solution I was half hoping for. However, you got me thinking about the the trigger's performance if a do a bulk insert. Hmmm, I'll have to do some testing,

Thanks,
Mike

Yes you can... but it requires a bit of trickery (a function that'll execute arbitrary sql)... Follow the example below...

Or you could use a trigger to fire after an insert on table_b to delete to data in table_a... Which is probably the more sane way of doing it, lol :)
