glad you mentioned Relational, Inc. Otherwise one would get the impression that M$ invented everything that is in the current Sql standard. Especially now that Sql Server 2008 is more like Oracle 10/11 than ever, which is actually a good thing.

Especially now that Sql Server 2008 is more like Oracle 10/11 than ever, which is actually a good thing.

Since I have a primordial hatred for Oracle, I'll have to strongly disagree with that notion. Wink

"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."
