    I figure I'm about average for most DBA/Devs in ability, time availabily, and desire.

    I'm glad they republished this article. Very well written, Craig.

    As to the quote from more than 2 years ago and it's really not my job to judge but, you, good Sir, were head and shoulders above most folks that I've met that claim to be 8's and 9's in SQL Server even "way back" in 2011. That doesn't make either one of us a 10 but you really don't give yourself enough credit even to this day. 😉

    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.
