    T-SQL programming involves a major loss of productivity, compared to any other modern language I know of.

    I know it's a wicked old post but the comment above is just so very wrong. It's like anything else... you have to know how to use the tool correctly in order to be productive with 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.
