    Good to see an article on a tricky and quite important piece of code.

    Although, with SQL Server 2008 around, I am surprised that you did not mention the Table user defined type and the MERGE statement?

    Since you brought it up, do you have an example you'd like to share?

    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.
