Caps with nice tabular lining so everything is neat. Handwritten SQL can feel a little like art, I really enjoy making mine look as uniform as possible

- maleldil 4y agoI don't understand what you mean. Can you provide an example?
- EddySchauHai 4y agoThings like 'rivers down the middle' [0] [1] Because SQL has so many opinionated style guides rather than the One True Way I really enjoy spending time, if I have it, on making my SQL as Uniform and legible as I can. Sadly this is all closed source code nowadays. But my SQL files look almost like a table with clear 'rivers' along keywords. It makes my OCD brain go a little fuzzy inside when I finish :) Also having worked on a MONSTER of a financial system powered by stored procs and autogenerated SQL, I'm talking million line SQL files you can't load in a GUI, I am very fond of legible small SQL scripts nowadays.
