no but seriuosly the answer is, and always is, understand your tools and how they work and code what makes sense in the moment if you're processing 10 million files per day and they are always there and only one day two years ago a file was missing because some idiot cj deleted it from under your job, sure don't check in advance because it's wasted cycles conversely if you're converting 10 million strings per day into numbers and roughly 1% of them won't convert and when they don't you put in a -1, use something like tryparse or isnumeric assuming it's faster than exception handling with the tools you use

Shaggar posted:I don't like the xml datatype. there may be some highly specific valid uses but it smells bad. like it was probably a convenience thing for people who used to store xml as binary in their db and now its destined for abuse by idiots who cant do data design. it's kinda dumb if you use it right (i.e. querying from it) it's slow as heck and encourages bad design if you just use it as a place to dump xml files for lookup later, use a filestream

idk about msft but i think i read somewhere that apple maintains old machines for regression testing. wouldn't be surprised if msft does the same. also don't they bump up min requirements with patches sometimes? this could be why but idk, idk.

99.9% of the time if you're loving around with strings, someone already wrote a function to do it, so use it instead. unless you're using sql server in which case download sql# lol

Shaggar posted:you can index views in mssql if you really want to and natural joins are bad and dangerous. indexed views are not the same as materialized views. i'd like the option to use either in different scenarios. why do you believe natural joins are dangerous? you can already change FKs to silently break your existing queries so if that's your argument i don't buy it

Shaggar posted:Natural joins involve the server deciding which keys to join on which can change without you being aware of it. if someone adds a column with a name that matches a column in another table and the server decides to join on it now you've got different behavior without warning. natural joins are a really bad idea and they only exist to maybe save you a little typing. ah. i want natural joins that use fks not something fragile like a column name, but the standard and implementations out there are as you describe so i'll concede on that one i still want materialized views in addition to indexed views though

Shaggar posted:idk what the benefit of a materialized view is over an indexed view indexed views to have ridiculously restrictive prerequisites, like no outer joins allowed and no referencing other views. this is why i've never been able to use them effectively. so presenting a choice between them is dumb on my part, i should have just wrote 'i want indexed views that work like materialized views ie. less restrictive requirements'
