• BWAA-HAAA!!!! In that vein, I have a simple name for most databases I've seen in my life whether they be small or large. "Snowman Databases". They look really cool (sorry, no pun intended) in the "front yard" where all the managers can see them, they take exponentially longer to build and more resources the bigger they are, and they simple melt and fall apart at the first sign of any real heat. Perhaps "Puddle Database" would be an even more appropriate name.

    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.
