I always fucking hated joins. I'm guessing it was just me - but if I ever wanted to see data a certain way I always figured it was easier to give an UPDATE statement instead of trying to make a shitload of JOINS

Of course, I'm also not a DBA of maintaining shitloads of crucial data. I've always been along the lines of data manipulation looking for a certain type of output.

I always forget the syntax and have to look it up or look at previous code. Always forget if I should do left or right or inner etc... Then I go down the rabbit hole reading up so I can understand the differences. A month later I forget then next time I have to do it again I start over. :p

Three tools any webmaster must have: Winmerge, Notepad ++ and Fileseek. I acctully used Notepad ++ to change the database engine in a SQL database because I couldn't for the life of me understand all the grabass code syntax to change it in phpmyadmin. Was a simple replace all. Winmerge can see differences in files and Fileseek will look for words inside files.
