    Using the OUTPUT clause is a common pattern for something like this.

    Only if you intend to store the parent ID in the child table. Otherwise, it's a disconnect result set being returned and does not provide the ability to reliably make the bridge table.

    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.
