Back to coding

Real coders:

  • Don't write all of their SQL in Java, instead of coding call-outs to SQL in the database e.g. to PL/SQL.
  • Don't create tons of code without a second's thought for bind variables.
  • Don't look at one blankly when asked for the execution plan for their latest, fantastic SQL.
  • Don't really exist.

For a DBA that's really insightful. Are you milanbenes in disguise?
 
Odd things about my current gig... I'm contracted for a 37.5 hour week, no OT.

So I do my 7.5 and go home, the permies have been staying till 7 - 8pm lately. Bizzare.

Still, not going to feel guilty about it. If they want my time they have to pay for it :laugh

And anyway I've fixed nearly three times as many bugs for them as they expected.... in normal working hours.

SQL? Real coders?

:rollin:

My SQL knowledge is "SELECT * FROM TABLE". Then I get all the data and write assembler code to sort out what I want from it. That's the way forward.:music:
