Not me, I'm independently wealthy. I just stay up late to do this stuff for fun.

Good question, Jared! Perhaps 'overflow' is technically not the correct term to use to decribe this scenario but it seemed to fit the bill sufficiently to mail off a quick one-liner solution without going into great
depth. Some of us have work to do, you know ;)

To redeem myself I probably should have mentioned that this table sounds pretty volatile. Consequently the index(es) are likely to end up fairly disorganized, especially if the 350k records are being inserted in ascending order. Once you start adding levels to the index things start to
slow down....
