Amazing.JL Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Running into a problem with Structured Query Language? For me it just get's annoying to read sometimes and sometimes it makes things clear. Really depends on what I'm working on which has been very sporadic between IBM DB2, MSSQL, Access, DBase, etc, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Personally I find it a piece of piss and can't see what your problem is Ady! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I learned the "Don't write SQL statements when you're drowsy" lesson the hard way. It's far too easy to write "DELETE * FROM table WHERE id > 50000" when you mean "< 50000" and deleting everything you wanted to save while keeping everything you wanted to delete. :sad: Luckily I had a two-year old backup and the quarterly update files were available in an archive. It wasted a day but wasn't totally catastrophic. On the plus side, I now handle databases with all due caution. Everytime I type out DELETE, I shudder a bit thinking about what could happen.

Shanester Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 C'mon Ady! I love SQL. To me, it the best thing since canned draught Guinness. Well, almost... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 SQL is the way and the truth. Except when trying to work between several different DBMS's - then all the slight syntax differences make on crazy. Just remember: Ven Diagrams are your friend.
