    I can't get over the gut feeling that it's a bad idea, but here goes...

    First, make sure that some other user, preferably some DBA (yourself?) has SA privs.

    Second, open SSMS and click on {View}{Object Explorer}. Expand {security} and then {logins}. Double click on SA and a new window will open. Click on {server roles}. Find the {sysadmin} role and deselect it. Click {OK}.

    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.
