Oh, right! Oddly enough, that was the thread that finally convinced me to put pen to paper (well fingers to keyboard) on the subject...

Small world.

Send it to me... we had a sequence table that was responsible for an average of 640 deadlocks a day before we fixed it. I'd love to review what you have on the subject.
🙂 I was hoping you'd be interested 🙂
Will do. Be brutal 😀

Hey! I almost missed this, but Itzik Ben-Gan gave me kudos in his column this month for solving on of his 'unsolveable'(?) puzzles! How come no one told me about this?!?! :w00t::w00t:
Well done. I haven't been following the series (even though I subscribe - no time!) so I can't say anything more effusive at this stage. I'll definitely take a look tonight. You're getting to be quite famous, it seems :w00t:
With him becoming famous, we're starting the push for him to be MVP.

(Before anyone starts throwing pork chops at me, I'm only saying this as a joke. I know some of you should remember a certain individual who .......)

Before we say too much about Barry as MVP, there's a question that needs to be answered. Has he plagiarized enough articles or blog posts to become an MVP? 😛

Keep in mind that this OP does not have any back up. I hope we dont end up asking him to use the DBCC Timewarp command with all the parameters.

Is anybody working on documenting all those undocumented parameters.

that will be ok, I am as much an expert on dbcc timewarp as anyone in the world, apart from Gail who invented it (she makes me say that)

Knowing you, brutality probably won't be necessary... I won't even need the juice from a pork chop. 😛 Seriously... I very much look forward to taking a peek at 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.
