Then you grow up and find out that your family crossed the pond in 1643 and was farming in Pennsylvania and Ohio by the time Mozart was entertaining the court. Weird.

Heh - If that's the case, then our family trees may well intersect at some point. 😀

I didn’t think DBA’s had family trees. If you ask a developer, we were hatched, or cooked up in a lab someplace.

I'm more of a developer. Our trees grew out of your gene "pool" in a more structured way. Cue fish out of water and NoSQL has no structure jokes...

A moment of silence, please.

I heard from his family and Mike Vessey, https://www.sqlservercentral.com/author/mvdba, passed away on 25 Jun 2020. I was pleased to meet Mike and host him on a panel at one of our SQL in the City events a couple years ago.

If I hear more or have an obituary notice, I'll post it here.

Oh, lordy... another good one gone. So sad.

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.

If Steve finds an obit link and you worked with him, please think about leaving a post on the memorial stating what impact he may have had on you. I found it very comforting when my grandfather passed reading stories about him interacting professionally or as an educator to people. I knew he did some of that, but it was different to hear from the people who felt he was important to them.

I don't often post here ( forced retirement due to current pandemic); but he was one of the guys whose advice I would read and heed. A sad day.
