Select All... And Watch Your DBA Cry

Select All... And Watch Your DBA Cry

Oh. My. God. The DRAMA between DBAs and developers is sending me! 💀

Developer: "I'll just grab EVERYTHING with SELECT * and sort it out later!"

DBA: *literally PUSHING the developer toward a cliff* "SPECIFIC COLUMNS ONLY YOU MONSTER!!!"

And this, children, is why your database queries take 8 years to run. The SELECT * wildcard is basically asking the database to hand over its entire life story when all you needed was its name and phone number. Performance? Never heard of her!
