    Ah... so you're not a batch programmer. And that's the area of the code I was talking about. GUI programmers have all sorts of tools like Hibernate, etc, to write "portable" code... well, at least DB "agnostic" code so far as the GUI is concerned.

    It would be really interesting to see if any of your DBA's use GETDATE() or any of the other "proprietary" code offerings of SQL Server. I'd have to say that the first time they reference Master.sys.sysColumns, they're probably in violation. 🙂

    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.
