I've been through this a couple of times now and I agree with Gail. It boils down to which car will run better with sugar in it's gas tank and sand in the air intake? An old Volkswagon Beetle or a Maserati? 😉

Of course, the answer is "neither" because performance is in the code... or not. 😛

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.
