    I am torn between considering this genius or madness...:pinch:

    Heh... I've found there's not much difference. 😀 The quality of the outcome is normally the determining factor.

    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.

    your solution woul be helpful in achieveing better performance using a temp table rather than a table variable insofar as statistics updates are concerned, which do no take palce against table variables but do on temp tables

    In most cases, I'd agree. It's nice to have this wonderful trick available, though.
