"You" is already plural. Making it even more plural is just dumb. #yall #trending

I don't know why I did that.

The best thing about the USA becoming irrelevant on the world stage is that we don't have to put up with their stupid ass measurements anymore.

I was today years old when I suddenly realized (while thinking about something else) that "enchilada" just means "in chili sauce". #etymology

They call me mellow yellow.

Venn diagrams for teaching relational joins are plain wrong. I explain why in this new article. thegresqlpost.org/articles/joi...

Joins, Naturally

What relational joins are and why Venn diagrams cannot represent them.

If moths and other night critters want to get to my light so badly, why don't they just come out during the day?

What the heck? What kind of #SQL challenge site doesn't have an option for #PostgreSQL? Not even going to link it.

Most of the arguments against SELECT * are based on insufficient normalization. #SQL

Do you ever walk alone like a drifter in the dark?

I wonder how well I would do in an #SQL interview. Ask me some questions.

Fun Fact: Roxanne does not have to put on the red light. 🚨

After lexing, #SQL is a case-sensitive language.

What are the best online resources for newly self-discovered trans women? Regarding basically everything (I am out of date on where to go for good info)

People (including myself) are out here talking about optimizing your #SQL queries. Isn't that the DBMS's job? Why do I have to hand-optimize this stuff? "Use GROUP BY instead of DISTINCT!" "Use DISTINCT instead of GROUP BY when possible!" Both wrong. 1/2

"The Algorithm" is keeping my feed full of food porn, sex porn, and Trump. I am only upset about one of those. I wish I had more #PostgreSQL content, though.

I convinced someone to grow tomatoes today. Behold my good works.

To DBAs: Have you ever granted INSERT/UPDATE but not DELETE? I would like to hear your reasoning behind that decision. I am wondering if the granularity is ever used or even needed. Would a readonly/readwrite pair be just as good in your production? #DBA #SQL

My cat died of overheating this morning. 😢

Hey hotel, I never want to watch your silly TV channel. kthxbye

Just use SELECT DISTINCT. It’ll be okay. #SQL

Actually flawless.

Why do combat sports end in a draw? Just fight overtime rounds until there is a winner.

I have yet to see an actual relational database in production. Have you?

#PostgreSQL sometimes chooses to optimize your query using AI. It's been that way since 1997.
