Honestly, at this point I just wish SQL servers supported proper discriminated union types and nullable columns were implemented as some kind of MaybeKnown<T> and I could just have a normal Maybe<T> with normal equality semantics if I wanted. SQL needs to join 21st century type systems... or needs to get replaced altogether. SQL is the FORTRAN of relational programming languages, but hangs around because every time somebody tries to replace it they throw the relational-theory baby out with the bath-water. |
