Has anyone had experience using the query hint.. " option (KEEPFIXED PLAN) " ? If so, have you experienced this actually working as it's intended in SQL 2005?
No, but I'm thinking that this is "Death by SQL" of the same magnitude as disabling the automatic recalculation of statistics.

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.
