• Mannie, thanks for posting the article... your points are well taken and the appearance of the article is actually very timely for me. It gave me a chance to vent a little about a recent troublesome subject as well as a reminder that we all started out the same way.

    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.
