Thank you.

I guess what I'm really trying to say is that different people think in
different ways. For me, in this kind of problem, it's easy for me to think in
terms of arrays. And even if it is not the most efficient algorithm for
solving the problem, unless the database is very large, it will likely be "good
enough" for now.

Your solution will certainly run faster, and will also not run into the dreaded
"5 Jun 2079" problem in pre-2007 versions, as would my solution :-))
