• What an amazing article! Covers most everything from womb-to-tomb for such an "impossible" delete. I remember being amazed when Barry first posted his solution on the original thread. I'm even more amazed that he wove in some of the techniques used in the old days and took the time to explain how each byte of memory was cherished which made these types of methods absolutely necessary.

    Well done, Barry!

    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.
