    True - the title is a little misleading. The problem is that there isn't a 'correct' term for such files and this is the nearest commonly understood one. Anyway, what you need is this link: http://www.sql-server-performance.com/article_print.aspx?id=1056&type=art

    Actually, there is... it's called a "mixed rowtype" file.

    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.
