And the worst is that most of these developers only know - at most - a
very simple SQL, but they can make a virtue out of it by calling it
things like "highly portable" or "standard" SQL... for those that
remember it's basically "dBase" style but with a SQL syntax. And yes,
this normally has huge performance penalties. But normally people only
notice in production and by then .... too late .
