• @sharonsql2013,

    Many folks have correctly identified that the table should be "normalized". While it may not be possible for you to change the table, do you know how you would normalize the table if you had to? I ask because THAT's the key to this problem.

    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.
