A thousand times this. I've resolved performance issues in so many stored procedures written by programmers who don't grasp set theory and reach for the CURSOR early and often.

The quote that comes to mind: "His pattern indicates two-dimensional thinking."

Also from that film comes the quote:

> I've done far worse than kill you. I've hurt you. And I wish to go on hurting you.

Which I believe is a paraphrase of the Oracle Master Agreement.

Is that before or after, "You're going to give us all your money"?

I guess I think in 2.5D because I’ll often sketch an imperative, dumb query and then refine it once I know I’ve got the data I need. But I have a hard time starting with elegance. I use a baseball bat to shape the garbage can into the desired form

You'd have a future in modern sculpture. ;-) Okay, sorry sculptors! I like the brute force of the bat/garbage symbolism that seems so fitting in this day and age.

Fascinating.
