    Another brilliant article from Jeff. Easy and fun read (not very often you can say this about a technical text). Can't wait for Part 2.

    Thanks, Mishaluba. I had gotten into a bit of a rut on this one and the folks I asked to review it for me (I knew I was in a rut) gave me some excellent suggestions to keep it from being monotonous. It's a tough thing to write something so technical and not be totally boring.

    Thank you for the nice feedback on the article.

    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.
