Got it. Thanks for the clarification, Nadrek.

It would, however, be interesting to see how someone might reverse engineer things to be able to pick the next random number without it being "cryto secure". There are a whole lot of apparent sequences that can be had out of a NEWID().

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.
