    I have source and target tables, both having Timestamp column in them. I would like to select all the rows from Source table which have higher Timestamp than max(Target_Timestamp). As it is a timestamp column, I am having problems with this. Can anyone please help me. Thank you!!

    The TIMESTAMP (or RowVersion) datatype is a VARBINARY. Convert it to an INT or BIGINT.

    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.
