    Why we have to be inventive and create such acrobatic solution in a first place? Just to compensate for bad design and implementation decisions.

    In a word, YES! 😉

    If original DB developers did not use it as a data dump, there is no need for such acrobatics. Good article to refresh my memory.

    I make a good part of my living by fixing such data dumps. Thank goodness there's a need for such acrobatics! 😀

    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.
