    There are plenty of ways around using a cursor for this... it's just not necessary to find one because THIS type of task is precisely what Cursors were designed to do. A nice "firehose" cursor would do nicely and consume very few resources.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
