    Also set the recovery model to simple. (maybe only during the load if you want point-in-time recovery during the rest of the day)

    Ooooohhhh, be careful, now. BULK LOGGED, maybe, but not SIMPLE. SIMPLE breaks the entire log chain. Yeah, you can do a DIFF backup to quickly reestablish the chain but why break it in the first place?

    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.
