    A couple of decades ago, long before the words "Test Driven Development" ever parted anyone's lips, we called such reliable and safe test data a "Gold Set".  And, yes, if the space that they occupied could be weighed, they were worth their weight in Gold.

    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.
