    I have to say, most of my day has been "just ok". Seeing that Jeff received this has put me over the moon. Jeff, not only are you worthy of this accolade, but there should be a "Lifetime Achievement" equivalent named after you. 😀

    I can still remember some of my earliest convos with you all those years ago on that other forum, and in the near-decade since then, you haven't changed a bit. You're still the most helpful, kind, honest, and creative DBA I've been privileged to know in any capacity.

    Congrats, Jeff! Well deserved!

    Gosh... thanks, Mike. :blush: Those are some mighty kind words. It's safe to say that you're one of the folks I've known the longest in the world of SQL Server because of that nifty little forum. It's a shame they killed it right when folks were really starting to get active on it.

    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.
