Not much. There'd just be a few more unchallenged suggestions that someone either shrink their database or use the NO_LOCK hint.

I'm getting very frustrated (and very saddened) by the (apparently) increasing number of people who seem to feel that writing T-SQL is about throwing code segments together at random apparently believing that some odd combination of clauses will work and not checking in the documentation to see what the syntax permits when their random combination of fragments of multiple commands doesn't work.
Am I alone here?

Both printers here are acting up. One doesn't want to inject ink on the the paper. The other keeps sending offline messages to the computers.
Today is a day I am tempted to throw one of them off the roof.

Like the people who put "If Else" in the Where clause?
Or the ones who use IsNumeric and end up still getting conversion errors?
Or do you have something more specific in mind?

You've probably seen the post that triggered today's rant, but it's far from the first case.
