      From: jcelko212@earthlink.net              Your mindset is wrong. SQL is a declarative language and does not use       procedural constructs. Things happen "all at once" in whole sets, not in       sequential steps. This means we have no loops. A classic book on this topic is       Peter Henderson's FUNCTIONAL        PROGRAMMING.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
