    I disagree with Grumpy's first suggestion. Oracle may not "need" the AS for a table alias (and neither does SQL Server), but including it in my opinion greatly increases readability and maintainability of the code.

    To each their own. I don't use "AS" for table aliases either. Come to think of it, I generally don't use "AS" for column aliases because I usually use the ColumnAlias = Expression form in my select lists. Like I said, to each their own. 😀

    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.
