Why Don't We Have Better Practices?

    My personal feeling is the we have great "practices" in this industry and the last thing in the world that I'd want is for some RDBMS (like Oracle) start telling me that what I want to do isn't allowed. Computers are an imagination limited tool and I'd like them to stay that way instead of being fettered by what someone else thinks is the "right way" to do something.

    Be careful what you ask for... you might get 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.
