    The PIVOT statement can be useful at times, but it is handy to know that anything that can be done with a PIVOT statement can be converted to an equivalent query without the PIVOT statement.

    For those that don't know about Matt's fine example, it's called a "Cross Tab" query and examples can be found in Books Online.

    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.
