    As a side note, but still critical, let me warn everyone to use lowercase only for data type names in SQL Server. That is, "int" not "INT", "datetime" not "DATETIME", etc.. This applies not only on case-sensitive servers but also under specific conditions even on case-insensitive servers, thus it's safest to use lowercase every time.

    I've never seen it be true on a case-insensitive server. Do you have an example of such a thing, Scott? I ask because our standard is all uppercase in this area.

    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.
