Re:What I could use... (Score 1)

I actually see this all the time. I do a lot of refactoring of code which I didn't write. I can't tell you how many times I have seen people "select * from table" and then use application logic to: determine number of records determine maximum from a field search for existence What a waste. If people would just learn a little more SQL than "select * from blah", the world would be a better place.
