Once managed tech for an insurance actuarial department. We ran IBM DB2 for underwriting and claims apps. One day had lunch with the actuarials to make friends and make sure we were supporting them well. At one point in the conversation I foolishly asked whether they also would like to access DB2 to minimize data transfers. They laughed and said: "SQL is like drinking data through a straw. We use APL so we can drink it all at once." I felt like a rookie at spring training. |
