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.

Kodi is a home theater video/music player. It's available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. It uses a sqllite database to store video file info. I was cruising their wiki, and at the top of the wiki is this statement:

Warning: The databases are critical components of Kodi. We strongly urge that you do not interfere with
them, unless you have knowledge and experience with database designs.


Imediately following this statement are the schemas for the various tables, which includes the following column names:

c00
c01
c02
...
c23


Maybe they should heed their own warning.
