Using stored procedures to calculate - data has about 15 records all related to one test - each having tehir own set of calculated results. &nbsp;We hav to loop through them - Debating right now what would be the best way to stor this data - write each calculation into a temporary table, wait until the whole row of calculations are done and then write to final table, cursors (although I don't think that'd be a good idea) just use variables - an array doens't meet our needs. &nbsp;A hash table woudl but is their an equivalent in stored procedures??<br />

Storing values until ready to write to table - best way to do it
