    Agreed, not about shooting the test writer but about the nonsensical options. You literally have to rule out all the real choices based on how ambiguous they are. "Compare and contrast normalization and de-normalization with respect to data modifications and the expense of data retrieval."

    Now that's a solid question, albeit that approach tends to fall down when writing a multiple choice exam 😀

    Did you see the other question concerning the model database? Nah... shoot the test writers.

    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.
