    Giving away a fine "secret" here, but no one's ever heard of temporary stored procedures? Build it using dynamic SQL... execute it... it's all in the same scope that way. You can make temp tables with all sorts of variable column names that way... reporting on steriods... no RBAR... no global temp table or fixed table headaches.

    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.
