    HA, I like NULLs. I might ask for two articles, one pro and one con.

    I like NULLs, as well. I was just thinking of the insanely long threads where people keep saying that NULLs aren't a part of a true relational database and Codd this and Date that and yada-yada-yada. I keep thinking "who gives a rat's patooti?" and that I hope I never run into a true relational database because it will even make Oracle look good. 😀

    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.
