This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Oh man that code is gross. I guess they went with a proprietary sql build in an attempt to lock people in?
Haha yep. I can't imagine anyone's seriously using that code, and actually there's a lot to be said for specifying the fields in your queries rather then just getting everything (cos things can change), but not having
select *
is just ridiculously hostile to new users just trying to get a feel for the data.But that's very Salesforce. They've redesigned SQL so it's "better".
Imagine that attitude applied to an entire platform. It's not bad, per se - it's pretty consistent, stable and mature. But it's certainly spiky and difficult to use compared to other ecosystems.
