    I need someone that wants to document and describe an issue.

    I've recently fixed a monster that was necessarily (used in a Persisted Computed Column) a Scalar Function and I started to write about it.

    Don't let this hold anyone else up, though. This sounds like a very wide open topic that a whole lot of people could have fun with.

    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.
