Some clients are more fun than others. Today, after I told one client of a long standing feature of Postgres that he was unaware of, he channelled his inner bard and sent me this email:
Steve:
How beauteous this software is!
O brave new database
That has such commands in't!
Andrew:
'Tis new to thee.
(To save you looking it up, he's adapting a well known passage in The Tempest).
Yes, he sent that email in response to one of mine where I told him it was neither new nor unique to Postgres. That's in fact what makes his adaptation of the quote so apposite.
What was the feature?
ReplyDeleteNULLIF
ReplyDeleteBut NULLIF is standard feature for all databases, isn't it? :)
