    Thanks Adi... it's an old solution and it's not mine. I've just never seen anyone explain it before and thought an explanation was long overdue especially since it's been coming up a lot on the forums, again. A lot of the "answer" posts have included a substantial amount of RBAR and, of course, that drove me to write the article.

    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.
