I absolutely agree but, just like I said a year and a half ago, too many people simply give up too easily on finding a high performance set based solution. 😛

Aleluya! I waited a year and a half for your reply and I was certain it will come sooner or later 😀 By the way, I do agree.

Also,I read here that,we should avoid cursor as much as possible.

This is not correct. Is like saying you should avoid surgery as much as possible - why if surgery is your most effective alternative?

Actually, that is not entirely correct... Heh... I find that too many people go for "elective surgery" instead of finding the better way.

You should indeed avoid cursors "as much as possible". [font="Arial Black"] I'll agree that it's sometimes not possible but most folks simply give up too early.[/font]
