    My question would be, why does one need to know the count of rows of this table to begin with? Since someone is adding a hundred rows per second to the table to begin with, it's not like it's going to be accurate for very long.

    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.
