Schema design Memes

When a database architect gets HR access privileges... 💀 Poor Jeffrey just found out he's not VARCHAR(255) compatible. Someone clearly designed their employee table with fixed-width fields and "Jeffrey" has one too many characters for whatever ridiculous constraint they set. This is what happens when you let database purists handle human resources. Next they'll be rejecting candidates because their last names contain SQL-injection risks or their birthdays don't conform to ISO-8601.
