    Great spackle Jeff! Thanks for putting this brief article together - an easy and informative read.

    cheers,

    Thanks for the positive feedback, Steve. I called these short articles "SQL Spackle" for the reason given. The concept of these short, single point, get to the point articles was Steve Jone's idea. I was a little worried that some folks would look at these a snub a nose with "Pffft! Already knew that and the article is too short!". That's why we had Phil McCracken (pen-name suggested by Paul White) do a lead in on each of these articles. To make them easy to find, Steve created a new keyword lookup for the word "spackle".

    Again, thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback.

    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.
