    Thanks, Sean. Good article. You know, I'm consistently impressed by just how many different uses there are for the tally table. So simple in design, yet the performance gains are through the roof. Thanks again.

    One of the regulars around here (I always forget who) once called it the "Swiss Army Knife of SQL". They were absolutely correct. The usage of something so simple is truly amazing. 😎

    That would be none other than Gianluca Sartori, the "spaghetti dba".

    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.
