DML, DDL Let's mix them

I am writing this to remind myself that I hate SQL Server. I like writing SQL and but I hating coding it in SQL Server. Here is the reminder:

select * into New_Table from Old_Table where y="stupid"

instead of:

create table new_table as Select * from Old_Table where y="much more logical syntax"

Mixing the roles of DDL and DML syntax is wrong. Plain ol' wrong...

We had a ball this weekend





Sending Chris off to College - Go Gamecocks, the Ballard brood came to visit. Otis and Sophie were also graced with the presence of Coco. All in all, we had a ball.
