The U.S. Submarine Service had all sorts of metrics as to what a "drip", "slow leak", "fast leak", and "flooding" constisted of (water in the "boat" is not a good thing). I boiled it all down back when I served and apply it to my current DBA work.

"If you find it, it's a leak. If it finds you, it's flooding." 😉

Be prepared. Be proactive.

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.
