    6. Table variables are the only available choice to pass a table to a procedure.

    I know XML is not realy a table, but it can be used to pass a table to a procedure as an input parameter. :w00t:

    Yep, prior to being able to pass a table to a procedure, one was limited to using XML or delimited strings. I haven't actually played with passing a table yet, but it does look really promising!

    If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!
