Hi Goldie,

Thanks for your concern that you have read my article.

I do not want to make the conversation too long about my article here since we should discuss the article by Divya here. I'd like to talk about your objections in detail at kodyaz.com.

Since I love the new t-sql improvements like XML improvements, CTEs, Window functions, Merge, Hierarchy, etc and I got impressed by the style and the variety in code the t-sql provides I like to work with the new methods in tsql solutions.

So you are right that it may have performance issues, the developers would take the performance of their solution while implementing it on a system. But my main motivation is just providing an additional way of solution to an existing problem.

But I'd take your objection into account since you are right at performance. And I'll alter the article by adding a note on that topic.

Thanks again Goldie,

Eralper
