    Well done and thanks for the feedback, Dev.

    Yeah... this article will give me a place to point to if someone comes up with the question on one of my posts. Hopefully, that's not all it's good for. Hopefully more people will do their own testing before they say such things as "In my experience, the best method is..." or "I've been at this for 25 years and the fastest method is..." or things like "Recursion rocks for everything!" because I've found that they're frequently wrong. Help destroy SQL Myths! Performance test some code today!!! 😉

    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.
