    That code's written for SQL 2000; I suggest completely ignoring it.

    I wouldn't ignore it because it was written for SQL Server 2000... I'd ignore it because it solves the wrong problem for the latest request.

    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.
