    Has anyone read this eBook? The link to the SQL scripts, does not hold the scrips from this book... and when I copy the code out.. I have to delete all spaces and recreate them... else I get an error on ' '. Has anyone had this same problem? Fix?

    I've seen that situation where they are using CHAR(160) , which is a fixed width character that *looks* like a space, but isn't a REAL space (CHAR(32))

    if you use that, it makes scripts look laid out nicely, but it's not copy/pasteable any more.

    a find and replace with a decent text editor, like Notepad++/EditPlus and others will get you where you want to be with the copy/paste script.

    You can do a similar find'n'replace in MS Word by replacing "^s" (without the quotes) with a space.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
