    That's one of the reasons some of us try to stick with ansi sql and never use proprietary language features.

    But, as Jeff mentioned, excel.

    Heh... It's a personal belief, for sure, but I believe that "Ansi SQL" and "Excelling" are mutually exclusive terms especially when it comes to batch processing. 🙂

    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.
