    And I've noticed that as I've gone to multiple cores, things have gotten better.

    I hope DBAs don't need to learn how to program in parallel computing,

    I think multi-cores are going to do just like larger memory and larger disks did... multi-cores will inspire crappy bloated other-wise-slow code because the hardware will be able to handle it. Get a garden hose to keep the cpu cool when all the crap code hits it... 😛

    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.
