    Why not have something like that with the optimizer for query plans.

    I believe because it's mostly not worth it. How many query plans do you want the optimizer to come up with on a cursor or a set of non sargeable predicates (for example)? 😉

    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.
