    None of the following are technical questions, they're just simple and conversational, but they reveal a lot.

    One question I often ask is, 'What are the title and author of the last book you read?'

    It evokes some rather interesting responses.

    Personal, Lee Child.

    "Why you should run like hell when someone asks stupid questions during an interview" by Ben Dover 😉

    "Disaster Recovery Using DBCC TimeWarp" by The Thread

    Now there's a book that would be interesting. 😉

    Indeed. Awesome title, Alvin. It really should be a book since so many folks find out the hard way about backups and restores.

    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.
