Google "SQL Fertilization" with the quotes and most of the links appear to relate to a single job advert, something to do with Broadridge. Best guess? A dopey recruiter has the wrong end of the stick and doesn't know about virtualisation 🙂

And here am I thinking that someone had made some serious advances in AI 😀

"SQL Fertilization" is when you go crop dusting in the server room. 😛 Gives new meaning to the term "It Depends". 😀

Either that or it's a "code smell".

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've seen plenty of BS in databases, but I've never seen anyone advertise for it in a job description...

You people must have been very lucky or very unobservant.

In my experience a lot of job adverts are asking for bullshit: surely there have already been a few asking for 5 years experience experience of SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition on Windows 10 (I haven't seen any yet, but that's because I don't look at recruitment ads any more). And I really loved "The 3 man team you will join has a combined experience of more than 10 years on SQL Server 2008" when it when it did the rounds as the latest candidate for most dishonest statement in a recruitment ad early in 2009.

Either that or it's a "code smell".

Or it could be a term for what SQL Server does when someone repeatedly tells it to force the storage devices to reproduce (by using full recovery model without backing up logs, and not telling anyone) - at least in the cases where this doesn't result in an increment in the number of unemployed DBAs.

Or maybe a euphemism for doing that to SQL Server?

A SQL query walks into a bar and sees two tables. He walks up to them and asks, "Can I join you?"
