    Thanks for the feedback and I hope you get well soon.

    As a side bar, if "total cost" is coming from the execution plan, then possibly a bad test. I can show you code wth two queries of 0% and 100% yet when they run, exactly the opposite is true even though the actual execution plan says it didn't happen that way. 😛

    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.
