    @Jeff, it sounds as if you should write a counterpoint article for EAV.

    I kind of did already.

    Admittedly, they're at the 100 level but they provide a decent start to the concept.

    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.
