Why would there be an age and my_age column on the table GIRLS?

[–] lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Good point.

Should be age > (@my_age / 2) +7

FTFOP - now my age is some value defined outside the immediate query.

More likely, the GIRLS would be a view of some table persons and you could query my_age from that table too.

Thank you. I assumed the reader would be educated enough to guess I meant a variable. But yeah, should used @my_age

Pretty sure "People who know enough about SQL to know about variables" is a subset of "People who know enough about SQL to be pedantic about it" :p

A fair point :D

Because for each girl you meet, you might tell her a different age.

Ah, but if we care at all about normalization and that's calculatable from the other columns (it should be) then it shouldn't be a column. Unless it's expensive and this is a view, of course.
