    Any examples of how these would be used?

    Running totals. Traditionally done with slow set-based code, with a (relatively!) fast cursor, or with some dangerous unsupported side effect of a language feature.

    Unsupported... Yes. Dangerous? No and I do wish you'd get over that. 😉

    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.
