“Just wrote the most complex SQL statement I have ever written. It won’t scale, but it’s so beautiful. :)”
Cal’s query brought tears to my eyes. When a finch landed on it, I saw it pivot. It was deeply religious…
START TRANSACTION;
I believe in Codd, the Father Almighty,
CREATE‘r of OLTP and OLAP;and in MySQL, His PRIMARY KEY, our INDEX:
Which was established by the DB driver,
born of the Open Source;
suffered under Larry Ellison,
was TRUNCATE’d, DELETE’d and was DROP’d.
It INSERT’d INTO NULL;
ON DATEDIFF = 3, It TRIGGER’d again FROM HEAP;
It RAISE()ed into non-TEMP, RIGHT JOIN’d with Codd the Father Almighty;
from thence It shall come to SELECT FROM the relational and non-relational.I believe in the DB driver,
the Fourth Normal Form,
the relations of tables,
the ROLLBACK of failed transactions,
the RESTORE from logical backups,
and the persistence of storage.COMMIT;
