    To my mind the term "best practice" is intended to be "preferred common usage" to help newbies from straying into dangerous territory without appropriate skills/awareness. Stage one is learning the rules. Stage two is learning the caveats to those rules. Stage three is discovering new rules/caveats.

    I like Stage Four the best... learning that "It Depends". 😀

    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.
