    I'm always fascinated by interviewers that think something needs to be done in a single SQL statement and I'm just as fascinated by interviewers that think you should generate such code from the application. So far as I'm concerned, the correct answer should be...

    EXEC dbname.schemaname.storeprocedurename(list of parameters)

    --Jeff Moden

    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.
