True story (I kid you not)...

Guy at (previous site) work was running the worst SQL's in the world and then comes steaming in on regular occasions with "There is a problem with the server", to which our obvious reply used to "maybe its the 37 table join you've written"...

After this had no effect, I told him one day that I had added "enhanced_performance = true" in the database parameters and that this would take effect the following day...

Later that afternoon, I saw him scanning through manuals looking to see what benefit this parameter would give him...
