Gregory's ServerI cannot emphasize enough how fucking awful the SQL standard's definition of isolation levels is. Ambiguous in like three different ways, fundamentally broken, and we've known it for TWENTY FIVE YEARS. Every time I talk about an SQL database I have to explain the N different interpretations of the standard and show how a rules lawyer would try to defend batshit behavior. I cannot wait for it to be hurled into the sun and replaced with something that actually makes sense.

 @aphyr i am extremely interested in your take on what "something that actually makes sense" would resemble. would you mind sharing more about that? 🤓   @aphyr SQL is bad pain, dammit! But I'll admit I'm glad to not have to find out exactly how much... |
@aphyr "SQL: as much of a standard as the English language"
