There are a lot of helpful tools out there but, to be honest, the absolute best tool in all of these instances is frequently overlooked... a DBA that actually knows all this stuff and knows not only how to write and correctly tuneT-SQL but also knows how to write his own tools when push comes to shove.

Above all else, they must know how to get the current date and time. 😛

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.
