    Jeff, that is a very nice write up and a very nice job of giving credit where credit is due. The code is interesting, the explanation is just first class, I appreciate the little details like running it in Tempdb to make it easier for someone new.

    Thanks for the great feedback, Andy. Heh... yeah... I remember what it was like being new. Good thing I had backups so I could restore the things I deleted by mistake. Hopefully doing these types of experiments in TempDB will protect those that have not yet been burned by an experiment.

    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.
