Yep. Troubleshooting was an expectation with new hardware. Just like in Linux still today. At the end of the day you have some idea of what's going on.
Comment on: Trying to get balls deep into SQL, dont really like it, any tips?
You have to treat a query the way a programmer would treat a function. It can be boring, but gives you a great amount of power once you're really good at it.
Focus on the FROM clause first to choose which data you need and how it's related. Next, the WHERE to filter down to only what's needed. Finally, work on the SELECT to choose what you want after you have the correct result set.
That order is important once your queries or days sets become more complex.
Long live Oracle!

Who the hell is downvoating this? Thanks OP.
Comment on: I realize this might be an obvious question, but is anyone else annoyed by how programming has transformed from an understanding of concepts into blatant marketing speak?
And on the other side, every dick who sets up a thermostat seems to call himself a programmer nowadays.
Win 3.11 with networking was near perfection. Expanding the user base then took priority (though it did end that damn DOS mem management pain).
