    Is SQL Fertilization the reason we have so much code and practices that look like feces?

    You know, I have a comment I could make on what it is, but it's so bad and potentially offensive, I'm just going to keep it to myself...

  • Because SQL Fertilization needs to become something we all talk about. It's important. Don't you understand how SQL Fertilization works?

    I am pretty sure this is the process by how MS adds new features in their latest versions.

    In the beginning there was SQL Server.

    God said 'Let there be light'.

    Click!

    And there was NoSql.

    pzzzzt!

    The bulb blew.

    I am pretty sure this is the process by how MS adds new features in their latest versions.

    Or the process by which people presuming to understand SQL Server write blogs, articles, and thread responses pollenating various SQL myths across the interwebs.

    I have to say a lot of people have been asking this question. No, really. A lot of people come up to me and they ask me. They say, ‘What’s SQL fertilization’? And I tell them look, we know what SQL fertilization is. We’ve had almost eight years of the worst kind of SQL you can imagine. Oh my God, I can’t believe it.

    Look, if you want to know what SQL fertilization is, do you want to know what SQL fertilization is? I’ll tell you. First of all SQL, by the way, I love SQL. It’s probably my favorite language, no it is my favorite language. You know what, it’s probably more like a language but with a lot of languages using it. A lot.

    So, we have all these languages, and we can write them and read them and write them. DEBUG them even. Did you know that? We can debug them OR rewrite them, they don’t tell you that, and I’ll tell you, no one is better at the features implementation than me. You wouldn’t believe it. So, we’re gonna be the best on SQL fertilization, believe me. I tell you that we have a foolproof plan to implement SQL fertilization . And that's why we're going to be the best at SQL fertilization. #MakeSQLGreatAgain

    I have to admit, I read that fellow's parody posts and laughed my butt off. As soon as I find it, I'll be able to sit comfortably again.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

  • I have to admit that I have seen very little spam over the last several days. I am guessing that Steve and the team either got something else in place or the idiots decided to move on. That isn't to say it is all gone, and probably never will be. But it is nice to have our little corner of the interwebs back again. 😀

  • Christmas in June!!!

    The purchase of some Red Gate tools finally got approved by my boss. 😀

    Feels like I've been begging forever. I'm not trying to promote those tools over any other ones mind you. However, I will say that the tools I did demo were very intuitive and I was able to put them to good use right away.

    In retrospect, not having some of these types of tools at first probably helped me in the long run though. Had to learn to do some things the old fashioned way. lol

  • I am having the worst time today reaching the forums via Internet Explorer. It just hangs and hangs.

    Anyway, has anyone heard about the latest data breach? I know I'm not affected. I do hope no one here is.
