    440692 I am just a number (1/3/2012)

    To be sure, I made a terrible mistake. [font="Arial Black"]ISNULL isn't SARGable.[/font]

    That is just a perspective thing.

    Your 'terrible mistake' challenged something I believed to be true and highlighted a lots of things I didn't know.

    Three days into the new year and I now have a much better understanding of how indexes are used.

    I think it is going to be a good year.

    Many thanks to yourself, Hugo and Paul

    Thank you for the kind words. And, I agree... once again, the discussions are what really paid off on these fine forums.

    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.
