Sorry Jim, I just realized you probably meant someone directly deleting
rows in the summary table itself. Well yes, that would certainly fox it!
I guess I was implicitly considering a use case where the only direct
DML on the summary table would be some sort of ETL process, which would
probably lock out other changes (and re-create the summary table data
afterwards in all likelihood).
Cheers
