how about this.
if( User != null && User.Length != 0) is better than checking for empty string ???

Maybe they have CDO?
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(User.ToString().ToString().ToString().ToString())) {
}
|
|

CDO. It's like OCD, just in alphabetical order like it should be!

A: It goes BOOM!
<context>SQL Server 2008 R2
I was just altering some of my code to choose betewen two values via COALESCE. Then I decided I might want to back out the change, but I wanted to leave the existing code in case I wanted to reapply the change later. So I had something like COALESCE ( /* X , */ Y ) Z -- of course, it makes no sense to COALESCE on one value, but I was only going to leave it there momentarily and I don't mind causing errors in order to advance my knowledge of the syntax.
The result is Incorrect syntax near ')'. -- I thought that was an odd message.
I checked the documentation: COALESCE ( expression [ ,...n ] ) -- so the syntax should be legal! 
But it also goes on to say that COALESCE is equivalent to a CASE and my attempts at
CASE (WHEN Y IS NOT NULL) THEN Y END Z
CASE ELSE Y END Z
have been unsatisfactory.

Here's a single line from a horribly formatted SQL view (copied verbatim, minus 58 leading spaces):
WHERE (MarketingGroupAutoID IN (42))))))) OR
Now that you know the answer (42), we just have to figure out the question. Any theories?

What's the second "total" for? Did the programmer have total recall?

Normal people might call it a "Grand total".

Nope. It's a symbol for Total/scoreTotal. He's calculating GPA or something.

There are plenty of dumb things done in SQL. Could be the coder never heard of ISNULL. Could be he came from a programming background. Could be he doesn't realize ISNULL is more efficient than a case statement. Could be a misapplication of "don't execute a function in a where clause" rule. Could be he forgot about ISNULL. Could be he's in the "Let's obsfucate this code as much as possible" club.
At least it isn't SUM(CASE WHEN cTT.Total IS NOT NULL THEN cTT.Total ELSE 0 END) as 'Total_Total'

I think that's in a few other places. 
This is an improvement over some earlier code by the same guy that is something like:
SELECT
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM T WHERE ... ) A ,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM T WHERE ... ) B ,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM T WHERE ... ) C ,
...

Maybe he wants the code to be ANSI compatible.
In which case I would use COALESCE.

A few years ago, I was working on some very legacy code that required a temporary array in a function. The array size would never, ever change and could be hard coded.
The legacy code:
char* pData = new char[4];
delete[] pData;
When I mentioned this recently to a colleague, he said that a smart pointer should have been used. Today that would be:
std::unique_ptr<char> pData = new char[4];
Last week, I ran across a web site discussing optimizations that a similar concept, though with more items. Applied to the legacy code, this this "expert's" solution was:
std::vector<char> data(4);
Why not just my solution:
char data[4];
Have people gotten so accustomed to complexity that they think of only complex solutions?
(I have other examples, the second funniest was when someone suggested using a boost function instead of three lines of elementary C code.)

Was it possibly an aversion to placing items on the stack versus the heap? I can't imagine that four bytes (or perhaps even 8) would be enough to warrant the overhead of using the heap.
Perhaps, they just like to build in complexity as a job protection kind of thing. The times are rough, now a days.

We make it complex because mere mortals should never be able to understand us! Heh, heh, heh.....

People have become so used to using frameworks, the primitives that the framework is built on, no longer has meaning to them. It is both a shame but also a measure of the quality of the some of the frameworks being used.
