Thanks Luis
I just gave myself a dope-slap.
I have done this in the past for other statistics. Why did I not think of that for this

Alan,

Just remember that you can wrap/encapsulate your SQL sentence as a view.
This can simplify a lot your table queries. In fact, regarding your post I had created a view with a code similar to Tom's (although using LENGTH in order to accommodate for different values of "xxx/yyy"), but had to get out of the office for a while and when I returned I saw that you already had a response.
