    Although it may seem so, I'm not being sarcastic at all when I ask you, do you know what "Books Online" is? People who ask the kinds of questions that you've just asked usually have no clue what it is and it's a huge help even for an old salt like me.

    I am unfamiliar with books online I use google a ton, usually get referred to microsoft's technet site, w3, or stack. I will do more research before I post, it's just hard to understand the technical vernacular sometimes, hence my translation request.

    I've bookmarked the page, thanks for the reference!

    Getting to Books Online is as easy as pressing Shift F1 in SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio).

    Being the lazy sot that I am :-P, you can get away with just pressing the {f1} key. Pressing and holding the {Shift} keys requires burning about 8 times as many calories as just pressing {f1}. :hehe:

    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.
