I wrote the article in Word, and I had asked Steve to include it as an attachment to the article so that the viewers could download it for easier printing.... I guess he interpreted that to mean to just make the article this way. I'm sorry for any confusion about that, and it's my fault that my desires weren't communicated clearly.

Damn good article. I knew that table variables didn't have stats computed for them, but I hadn't fully considered the implications of that.

One point which your article doesn't make explicitly is that table variables live outside transactions. I realize that you show this in the comparison table at the bottom, but I think an article as good as this one should give this point at least a mention in the Other Differences section, because this behavior is 1. potentially useful and 2. an (admittedly) rare source of difficult-to-find bugs.

I've put it back in the article text, so you can read it online with colored formatting.

My apologies to Wayne for not getting this done sooner. I thought I had saved it, but apparently I didn't.
