    Consider yourself covered. Please, feel better. Best wishes, all that. I want to see you again in November at the PASS Summit, so get better.

    Yes, get well quick! Hope it isn't a big problem and that it has a fast solution.

  • I'm gonna Fedex Barry a load of frozen pork chops to throw at you guys for laughing at his pain.

    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.

    And how much of what is in this thread is actually on topic? You have nothing to apologize for here, this is just the place to ask such questions. Too bad I don't have an answer for you at the moment. 😉

    I can point you at one not to emulate (www.snessug.com), but, I'm with Lynn. I really don't know of a good example.

  • Lynn, I was trying to be funny when I made the comment about off topic. 😀

    Grant, your website looks better than ours. I'm getting ready to fire our webmaster, me.

    Alvin, if you find a good one let me know so I can check it out too!

    Actually the Tampa Bay SQL Server User Group site, http://www.tampasql.com/, is the best one I've seen for SQL Server although I find it a little busy.

    Orlando .Net User Group has a decent one too, http://www.onetug.org.
