    Great article, Wayne, although I'm a bit surprised you didn't publish the million row performance findings (like you did on your blog) which shows just how big a performance and "reads" problem you can run into with this new functionality.

    Still, the new functionality will beat a cursor.

    --Jeff Moden

    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.
