    Better practice is to maintain a sequence column in the table.

    Why? I've added such a thing only when there is no other means and there is a means in this query. You just used one. 😉 A sequence column would require maintenance after every insert.

    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.
