    I'd like a short piece that explains the differences between temp tables, table variables, regular tables, user defined table types.

    When to use each.

    What would you be looking for that Wayne Sheffield didn't include in his piece on the subject?

    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.
