    Finger pointing?

    Yes, definitely one of the top 10 must-have skillz for DBA's.
    I got all the pics from mssqltips.com. It seems to me that reading/writing on glass panel in reverse is definitely trending these days. The little gummy guy has definitely got it down. He (yes, it's a he) needs to work on his diagraming skill though - just look at the Customer table. LOL

    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.
