    But that remember me hot discussions with a team of old dogs.

    Hey HEY!!! Be careful now! You're talking to an "old dog"! 😉

    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".

    Heh... even without that bit of nightmarish code, I still find the same to be true... "sad bugs" and "bad coding".

    Sure, someday I ill print "I see bad code" in a T-shirt.:-D

    But that remember me hot discussions with a team of old dogs. My point at the time was to drop using implict joins.

    I'm pretty sure they are still coding that way.

    I hope none is working in air traffic control or ICBM launch sequences.

    I'd buy that t-shirt! 😛

    I might too but it would make me feel slightly cross whenever I put it on.

    I've considered making a T-Shirt that says, "I didn't get this old being stupid... but you might have." 😉

    I will steal this one from you, Jeff.
