no, you should say "Because @@rowcount is affected by any commands in the session, it's my practice to re-select from the table in case there was a trigger that might returna different @@rowcount i might not expect."
just blame force of habit to resolve rare edge cases like that.
You're partially right about this and is a good thing to know. However, I don't know how a table that was just created by a SELECT...INTO would have any triggers. 😛

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.
