    It's an interesting look from a developer point of view. Compared to the power and speed of the relational engine, I think space savings are a minimal thing to worry about.

    Space savings are certainly important to me especially when it comes to backups and restores but according to Paul's script... what space savings?

    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.
