  I think Phil is showing a restore of the database from the snapshot, essentially rewinding time.

  If you want to update what's in the snapshot with new changed data, you cannot. You can drop and recreate the snapshot from the main database.

  Correct. To be honest, I just assumed that the OP had worded their question poorly. I never even considered the possibility that they might want to update a snapshot!

  ... which is also explained in the documentation for database snapshots... it's just a Google lookup away.

  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.
