According to my predecessor, nothing showcases your SQL skills quite like generating the entire page (markup, JavaScript and all) from a single 2500 line query.

40 days well spent.

might be awesome with sql, but that's a scalibility nightmare. all processing done on a sql server that only vertically scales, I think I would rather just get the data from sql and do everything else from a dynamic language that can be horizontally scaled to cut cost

@jckimble The rant is sarcastic, my friend. If it weren't for the fact the code is a scalability, maintainability and security disaster - I would most certainly not be touching it

@comradebeaglsky yeah I could tell, just said it for our junior programmers on here still in college where they wouldn't get any bright ideas

@jckimble Ah, fair enough :). Believe it or not this was written by a (former) senior developer. Absolute madness

@comradebeaglsky damn he was either real bad with everything besides sql or had a bone to pick with the IT department

I am proud of that man! this is complete insanity!
