    Define best.

    Not a problem... Which can someone write the highest performance code in that correctly does the job in the shortest time for the least amount of money with the least amount of maintenance? 😉

    The first thing is to understand that each DBMS is different and what is better for me, won't be better for you and what is better for project X, won't be better for project Y.

    Heh... Agreed... See definition of "Define best" above.

    It is OK to compare them, but there is one big problem - there are very few people really knowing both of them...

    Now [font="Arial Black"]THAT [/font]would be interesting. Any of you folks out there good at both? If you are, I for one sure would like to hear from you on which you think is best and why. Seriously...

    So ultimate seeking for which is better is useless at least to my mind.

    I do understand what you mean here... which is best for the PROJECT? See "Define Best" above. 🙂

    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.
