Know what you mean Tom - but I took the wording straight from BOL (I know, a scarely used resource 🙂 ) to try and avoid any arguments
For sake of completeness, here's also the link to BOL.
Anyway, Jeff's explanation in his SQL Spackle is definitely better and more entertaining :-)--so thanks to Jeff for his efforts and time and to Rich for sharing the link (and saving me the time to search for it myself).
Last but not least a great big thank you to Stuart for his QotD.

The question and this whole thread has been a lot of fun. And thanks for the feedback on the article. I really do appreciate it.

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.
