    That certainly looks like an inner join... but, it's not... behind the scenes, you end up with the same thing as a cross-join because of the criteria you've specified.

    It will, however, deceive a DBA that's in a hurry 😀

    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.
