It is not a fact that SQL cannot make coffee. Native SQL (ie: across vendors) may easily be associated with a 24x7 task scheduler capable of switching on appropriately configured external peripheral devices.

Conditional values associated with sugar and milk are catered for in the WHERE statement.
eg: 1) where sugar = 1.5 and milk = YES.

2) where sugar is null and milk is null

SQL compliant coffee machines might be rare, but they exist, and they make good coffee, right on schedule.
