    First of all, SSN have and will be reused. When people die their SSN gets recycled into the available pool.

    While it is true that a person can change their SSN, it's a myth that SSNs are recycled. Please see Q20 on the following webpage which is on the official Social Security website.

    There was one incident many years ago where some secretary had her SS card used as a demo card in wallets and some huge number of people claimed it as their own, but Social Security numbers have not been reused to date.

    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.
