    **An ironic phrase appearing in the background in one of the greatest movies ever made, but in the context of a SQL DBA's life, a truism.

    I love that movie! Especially the part where Babe starts talking sheep "Baa Ram Ewe!"

    ...ermm... Wrong "greatest movie"... here's another coupla' quotes for those that are still playing:

    Guard: Don't fight it son. Confess quickly! If you hold out too long you could jeopardize your credit rating.

    and

    Arresting Officer: This is your receipt for your husband... and this is my receipt for your receipt.

    --Jeff Moden


    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.

    FizzBuzz 😛

    Which sparks a question - why is it called FIZZBUZZ?

    Is it because you get a Buzz from the Fizz of a Cola?

  • Heh... it's more like a having a blowfly fly up your nose. 😛 Everyone tries to install handrails on me about that problem because they don't understand that I'm trying to help them not look stupid on the interview. A couple of folks finally picked up on that this time.

    Of course, just in case you don't know, FizzBuzz is actually a kids' game that's supposedly quite popular in the UK.
