MAKING SQL QUERIES IN CAPITAL LETTERS MAKES DATABASE TO SENSE URGENCY AND RUN FASTER.

It's tabs vs spaces for SQL. Notice how I capped.

Yea, but did you pronounce that Essquel or Sequel?

[–] netburnr@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Both in the same sentence just to fuck with people

In actuality I randomly switch between them. I am chaotic evil.

There is only one correct way to pronounce it. Everyone who pronounces it the other way is a moron.

[–] Chreutz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I stopped doing SQL (the language/syntax) because I use ORMs now. They make the job a bit easier, especially when doing table relations.

I always remap my tab key to ctrl. Where is your god now…

The mental gymnastics needed to understand joins 😂

It's basically just a VLOOKUP is how I explain it to my friends who might be familiar with excel but not a real database.

If you know vlookup, you should checkout xlookup. Even more similar, relatively speaking of course. No longer do I have to count my columns

Yes, WHY do I write all my SQL statements In all CAPS and why isn't there a better SQL editor, and why hasn't SQL evolved more than it has?
