    For just getting started, these are the things[/url] that I immediately look at for a plan. Yeah, there are tons more details, but this is the starting point. I did a presentation on this at the PASS Summit and it's available here.

    Freakin' awesome, Grant. You're such a good speaker.

    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.
