    Shifting gears a bit, the whole idea of a staging table is to pre-validate rows of data so that you don't end up with such a problem as rollbacks. I typically add a column or two to my staging table so that I can mark rows that need to be inserted or updated or shouldn't be used because of a validation error and the other column for why the row failed validation.

    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.
