    There is no need to include upper() in the where clause. TSQL is not case sensitive.

    Not quite true... the default is to setup SQL Server so that it is neither Case nor Accent Sensitive. However, I've seen many servers that have been setup to be Case Sensitive. If you're trying to make code work in any Case Sensitive environment, the use of UPPER or LOWER is prudent.

    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.
