• I like this editorial and Paul's sort article on this a lot but, most of the time, I've found it to be just crap code and crappy table design.

    Heh... I guess the term RBAR has made the big time if Paul is using it. 😛

    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.
