    The link for the "poor documentation" that I was speaking of is actually in Books Online under UPDATE... as in "Quirky Update", which can be controlled but is absolutely not supported. Let's not go there, though. 😀

    I see the similarities between quirky update and aggregate concatenation queries from an "intenedced effect" point of view, but frmo a technical point of view, they are totally different. I don't think it's safe to assume that documentation for the one applies to the other.

    That would be part of the reason why I have so much fun at all of this. I don't assume but I do see the similarities and the possible workarounds.

    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.
