Never ask me to review or support any code that's using dynamic SQL written in MS T-Sql or Oracle. Not that dynamic SQL is inherently bad, but the procedural and string-management tools of those languages are appallingly awful and SQL is a bad tool for templating/smashing strings together.

Which, fundamentally, is what dynamic SQL is.

When I realized the article was going to be about that kind of dynamic SQL, I closed the tab.

Building SQL queries dynamically is fine.

Doing it within the SQL server is an abomination.
