• As a bit of a side bar... take a look at the WITH ROLLUP and WITH CUBE options on the GROUP BY and the GROUPING function that goes along with it. There's a world of summarized information in those options that are datamart quality without most of the hassle and they blow the COMPUTE clause away. You can use WITH ROLLUP or WITH CUBE in a view and then just select the totals you want, etc, etc, etc.

    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.
