    The "gibberish" in the data looks more like possible punctuation or special character marking. It looks like it may a "simple" code page problem.

    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.

    I am already using SQL 2016 Standard. Still familiarizing with the features. And the data I received was from various web scrapes through a 3rd party vendor which is why it appears to be so dirty
