SQL enjoyer?
Every time I use it I feels like I’m going back to the 90s. No variables, no functions; Oh but you can do a CTE or subquery…👍
UNION ALL, UNION ALL, UNION ALL… “There’s got to be a better way, surely…”
looks up better way
“Oh, what the fuck?!.. Nope, this will just be quicker…” UNION ALL, UNION ALL, UNION ALL…
Join in a table sharing column names… Everything breaks. You gotta put the new prefixes in front of all the headers you called in now. In every select, in every where, etc… Which is weird because that kinda works like a variable and it’s fine…
“When you see this little piece of text, it means all this, got it?”
“Okay. Yep. Easy.”
“So why can’t you do that with expressions?”
SQL SCREAMS MANICALLY
“Okay, okay, okay!.. Jesus…”
And then you try put a MAX in a where and it won’t let you because you gotta pull all the maxes out in their own query, make a table, join them in, and use them like a filter…
I hate it. It has speed, when you can finally run the script, but everything up to that is so…ugh.













Even in my most troublesome situations, they are less frequent and quicker/easier to resolve than my Windows hurdles.
I’ve lost so much time of my life dealing with Windows breaking, blocking, being randomly fucked on basics, requiring insanely complex workarounds to keep the engine running.
Windows is definitely the harder OS. But ya don’t realise it until your first drive of a Linux distro. Then it becomes clear as day and you feel like you’ve been cutting off your foot to spite all the bullet holes you shot into it.
