Its a well known fact that best practice is to write the set based code to get better performance. While there is no absolute defination of set based and many people think that set based code is anything except CURSORS and LOOPs. Believe me that is not true.
I have been thinking to write about this topic for a while and just today i have come across very usefull article that explain exactly what I was trying to say. It also explains about Triangular and Cross Joins and a new (for me atleast) terminology ‘RBAR’. Its interesting.
