Now That's Ugly!

Welcome to my never-ending search for ugly SQL. That's the well-meaning, but ill-purposed use of SQL code to accomplish basic to complex database operations. I will also be sharing some examples of simple solutions to typical problems encountered by database users. SQL optimization is quickly becoming a lost art in light of more powerful machines and automated software. The ability to code with optimization in mind is something I have come to appreciate and hope to show to others.
