    ... The real key is that I have a good friend that I argue with/agree with once in a while. He said something I'll never forget... "A developer must not guess. A developer must know!" On lot's of these posts I say, "Darned good question... I know what some of the myths are, what's the truth?" I write a bunch of code (lots of copy and paste in cases like this) and test the heck out of it so I know the answer for sure before I post... settles lots of arguments when you have the proof in the form of code. 🙂 ...

    Sort of a Database Mythbusters, eh? 😀

    (my wife was on Mythbusters a couple of weeks ago, that was cool)

    Heh... yeah... kind of in the vein. 😛

    Hey, congrats on your wife's appearance on MythBusters. Haven't had much time for TV lately and missed the episode. Hope they show a rerun when they have more time.

    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.
