    I'm all for normalizing data... but if no one is going to use the normalized form, then you shouldn't bother. In this case, it actually provides a negative ROI as well as a performance problem because the solution uses RBAR on steroids and the fact that no one has the nads to smack the vendor.

    --Jeff Moden

    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.
