Heck, the events I present at are a freaking fantastic time - so much so that the hardest part is getting in to present.

Are you in the magician's guild?

[-] Mbourgon@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

SQL Server. Dozens of free events a year, one in most major cities, 20-40 Sessions/Presenters, token payment that covers lunch (and ensures attendance).

The main event (PASS Summit) is held yearly, has 150 to 200 presentations/presenters, and presenters admission is free. It’s a community event and it’s freaking fantastic.

What I’m hearing is that you’re not NOT in the magicians guild…

[-] Mbourgon@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago

Misdirection is one of the hallmarks of a magician, is it not?

[-] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 12 points 5 months ago

I don't know what the opposite of magic is, but SQL Server is that.

Are you kidding me? Why did the performance on this query start sucking this morning. Was it statistics? Plan recompilation? Plan sniffing? Bad plan? Somebody else running queries on the same spindles? Oh, it’s certainly magic.

I guess curses count as magic, too

There's a raunchy manga that just came out where the magic is based on SQL somehow.

*Actually it's a fan made re-release: My Ideal Life in Another World ~Perfected Fan Edition~ TOTALLY NSFW but I literally stayed for the plot.

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

If they’re good at SQL, it’s magic yeah

[-] trk@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago

Or are they? Look behind your ear - tada! A magicians guild membership card with their name on it!
