[ <-- those cables were a mess!]

Hello! Most of my activity here dates from 2008-2011, when I was deep into relational database work. Since then I have moved into other areas like C#, JS and CouchDB.

Early influences: Kimball, Date, Codd

It's unfortunate that the order of the clauses in SQL is "wrong". You should say FROM, WHERE, SELECT: Define the universe of relevant data, filter it down, select what you care about
