    Microsoft invested a huge amount of effort/time/money into CLR to give us tremendous capabilities. I have been told by someone close to the SQL dev team at MS that they are tremendously disappointed by the lack of adoption to the point they significantly curtailed planned efforts to make CLR even more robust. People like CELKO spread misinformation and outright lies about CLR to prevent more widespread adoption. Why they do such a thing is a guess, but I think it has something to do with not wanting to learn new things due to being stuck in the 80's (or 60's as the case may be.) This may seem harsh, but I think it's fantastically unwarranted to lie on a forum that's supposed to help younger developers get the truth about SQL Server.

    Well said.

    I am by no means a Microsoft Koolaid drinker: Microsoft does some things I don't agree with but introducing CLRs was absolutely a great move on their part.

    Ok... now you have me curious. What have you written in the form of a CLR?

    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.
