It depends how much performance is an issue, for a lot of queries it is not. For example, if there is a daily report that runs in batch it would not matter. I've tested the query on my development environment it generated and queried the table with 4000 rows in in less than 1 second.

That's pretty slow and performance should be always an issue...

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.
