    This is brilliant; I have always struggled with providing a unique identifier to a set of data after the data has already been written to the table, and it's always been a challenge, especially when doing it within SQL. Well, good job, very good job. Thanks.

    Ummmm... no. Randomness Uniqueness. Unless you're talking about just using NEWID(), that is.

    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.
