But if you don't know SSIS at all, you won't be able to take advantage of it for those cases where the answer is yes. You won't know when use SSIS and when to pull another tool out.

Ah... got it and understood. Thanks for taking the time, Gail.

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.

What is the spam? I find it also difficult and hard to understand what Celko is jabbering about 😀

(something about ISO standards? With no link to reference material?)

-2 °C This morning here.

And Italy is supposed to be one of the warmer countries in Europe...

That's because there is some high pressure air center(did I translate this correctly?)in Central-Europe, making all the bad weather go either North or South of Belgium.

Aka: here the temperature is OK for the time of the year (around 10°C) and no rain for almost 50 days :w00t:

We even had an Indian Summer that was better than the actual summer :w00t:

(I worked in my garden in my t-shirt at the end of October)

edit: yes, I was also wearing pants, beside the t-shirt
