    You da man Jeff! Another great article!

    I've seen quite a few forum posts recently where your discussion of how DATETIMEs actually work would have assisted the posters had they understood this fundamental concept.

    There's quite a bit more as to how they actually work behind the scenes but few people ever need to go there... including me. 😉

    Thanks for the feedback, Dwain.

    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.
