• I don't know if it's appropriate here or not but I find that a lot of people use OPENROWSET as a defacto standard for a lot of things where something like OPENQUERY might be much more appropriate especially since OPENQUERY doesn't require "SA" privs like OPENROWSET does.

    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.
