    These two part series were really useful. Thanks.

    Any suggestions on how to generate test data for following scenarios:

    1. Two tables linked using PK-FK relationship e.g. Product Category and Product Subcategory

    2. Self Referential Tables like the Employee table with EmployeeId, ManagerId, <Other employee details>

    3. Using the master tables in 1, 2 generate a table that has ProductFK, EmployeeFK, <Some data> as in a Data warehouse.

    Sure. I might be able to include some of that in part 3.

    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.
