One of the things I find most annoying about DBAs is they don’t understand just how utterly awful their tooling is. The error messages alone should be enough to throw a hissy fit, but as a group they’ve never dreamed of a life better than the misery of ERROR ON LINE 1: <entire query>
The aggressively common pipe-delimited sproc output (the standard hack to get around commas being common in strings, instead of finding a legitimate data format) is another clear example of the brain damage the poor DBA incurs through constant investment in “modern” relational databases.
