Even if they were all inserted with a single statement, it is not clear that a "datetime" performed for each row would produce an identical value in each row.

Datetime is only calculated once per query so no worries there.

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.
