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.

Noooo, no goat talk. My wife wants goats.Mine keeps asking if we can get miniature goats and/or sheep. She's a knitter and we live in Boston. Apparently they now breed sheep and goats small enough to keep them on an apartment's balcony. She wants to shear, card, spin and knit her own wool.

I would consider keeping a sheep on a balcony as "cruelty to animals". It would be like forcing someone to spend their life in one small room.

Well I sent a note to our BIT friend and got a reply back. Apparently
- he was abused
- I contributed to the abuser by pointing fingers at him
- his co-workers laughed out loud at the lack of help from our forum
- I was not truthful in not taking his side
- We won't get to see his solution since I locked the thread.
Well, that's that.

AhhhSo I can bring my fat goats in here for people to see and watch?
Cool - here is my goat.
Do you really have a goat? We had 4 pygmy goats ourselves!

Well, that's that.
What his co-workers ought to be laughing at is his honest bit here:
Prior to posting the problem here me and my other programmers office mates did asked the Business Analyst for explaination but he refused to informed us by saying that we are programmer we should know the meaning of it.
Personally, I agree with the Business Analyst - and I'd even go so far as to report this lack of knowledge to his superiors. If
he'sthey're missing this basic knowledge,hethey could be a real danger to their company.Wayne

There's nothing to be gained by arguing with the guy, so I just deleted the email and moved on. Some people are likely to feel persecuted to matter what, or abused because of a disagreement. Not sure I can help the guy, and not sure I want to a this point.

But what if you were small enough that the balcony was like a yard to a dog?
Keep in mind, we're not proposing to keep any on a balcony, that's just how they're described by breeders.

But he said he posted his solution! His sock puppets thanked him for it!
I'm betting it wasn't the forum his co-workers were laughing at.
