SELECCIONA * DE CLIENTES CUANDO TELÉFONO SEA NULO

In the 70's there was a significant trend of translating programming languages to French - for example LSE, Pascal, Cobol, Algol... Didn't abide - we now take English for granted but reading code in my native is a strange sensation !
That's SQL with Spanish words. I think the parent meant something along the lines of: dame el nombre de cada cliente cuyo ciudad sea 'Granada' y que no tenga telefono. Anything more flowery will be hard to translate, though.
-- Suavemente, dame tus columnas, mi estrella
This database query language gives better results when you ask in a poetic and romantic manner.
The result might take all night, but you'll never forget it.
I do like that

As a socially inept geek, I would like to: whisper database queries to desirable persons and have a good chance of getting some.
