Well, hello there.Luis - thanks for linking to my article. However, I'm afraid that it doesn't do much for helping to learn how to remove cursors. For that task, my favorite articles can be found here[/url] - it should be obvious which two articles I'm referring to.
I pointed to your article because it really helped with the first cursor. I agree that Barry's articles are great to learn how to remove cursors (it's a shame that he didn't complete the series).
Something that changes minds towards set based programming is the following phrase:
"Stop thinking about what you want to do to a row... think, instead, of what you want to do to a column."
