Triggers can solve any problem

An email from wootfuck:

In order to make life a little easier on all of us,
Ive written a script to synchronize databases
between orange and clients. In order to make the
script run somewhat efficient, I added 15 triggers
(insert, update and delete for each of the 5 large
tables) to the Universal database on orange. The
changes are stored in a new database univ_changes.
When those 5 tables are changed locally, only the
changes will be uploaded to clients. This means
that you cann...

10:30 < procyon> so 15 triggers to speed up an upload that isnt that large, and slowed all inserts down signifigantly
10:31 < procyon> doubled and tripled the time it takes us to do our bulk inserts
10:34 < procyon> its not funny but its a sign of his engineeriness
10:34 < procyon> AND NOW HES IN MY CODE

touching privates

12:54 [procyon] un fucking believable

12:47 < procyon> so i came home and hes like "DUDE THE POINTER OF THE ARRAY IS GETTING STUCK!!!"
12:47 < procyon> me: "oh really"
12:47 < ambrose> haha

12:48 < lithium> sure havent spent 2 hours on it before
12:48 < procyon> yeah heh
12:48 < ambrose> yeah
12:49 < procyon> and i sure havent come up with some ellaborate theory of how the shit was failing
12:49 < procyon> heh and THEN
12:49 < procyon> after that
12:49 < procyon> he says "AH SWEET! so i guess i'll move this to production tomorrow"

why bother with datetime, INT is good enough!

13:29 < procyon> webgineer never uses datetime, uses an int and stores unix timestamp
