Why can't SQL do it efficiently?

[-] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago

In the decades of experience I have with SQL, it is still unable to edit printed documents.

But also, it's not one database, it's thousands. Between missing/expired credentials, untested webhooks, changing data formats that the receiving end hasn't made the required updates for, and more... On top, some only get new records, not updates. Some are updated by hand even.

Thank you for explaining this. I'm obviously not technically inclined, so I really appreciate it, and will try to reread it tomorrow so it hopefully clicks for me.

Hey thanks again. It's amazing how much difference a few hours' sleep can make. All sorts of obvious things I (not a programmer) didn't think of.
