    Automating things has always been a key skill of good DBAs and, so far as I'm concerned, has absolutely nothing to do with "DevOps", which is becoming a more and more seriously abused term.  Such a key skill has been a part of what good DBAs have always done for decades before the term "DevOps" was even coined.  I don't credit "DevOps" with the need or implementation of such a skill.  To do so is to cheapen another highly abused term... "DBA".

    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.
