    If you understand the repercussions of code that can't be optimized...

    Actually, one of the best reasons for using Dynamic SQL is to optimize the performance of "Catch All" queries. Gail Shaw has a great article 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.
