The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

I said "new to SQL" and not new to programming.

And that is what I meant. Someone new to programming might be more likely to do it correctly because they don't already have expectations of how it 'should' be done. But these days either is likely to due a google search an implement it using the first example they find because neither has the necessary knowledge to filter it out.
