    Manie makes some very good points. I wish SQLServerCentral had been around in 1994 when I started working with SQL Server.

    And Jeff makes a good point too. Not enough of you guys get credit for posting knowledge and wisdom on your own initiative without the thought of recompense. I know I come here because of the wealth of information represented by the membership. I can always find something interesting to read, frequently an answer to a question (whether or not I knew I had the question) and I can occasionally put my 2 cents in for some value.

    But I think we all owe thanks to folks like Jeff and Steve and all the other experienced people who post information for the rest of us to make use of. Thanks, guys. You don't hear it often enough, but I believe you help more than you know. Just look at the number of members. That says something by itself.

    Well thanks Bryant. :blush: I really appreciate that. I do it because I just like to see people's "lights" turn on. When I get a hearty "thanks", it makes my day.

    Hmmmm... random thought... I wonder how many school teachers get that kind of thanks. They teach to see people's "lights" turn on, too, and they probably get it less than anyone on a forum.

    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.
