Mandlebrot

[Graham Bradshaw]

Some people use graphics packages to draw pictures, and databases to store data. Some people get these two ideas mixed up. http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Stupid-Coding-Tricks-The-TSQL-Madlebrot.aspx[^]

That is brilliant. I love it. I love crazy uses of SQL.

That is one piece of awesome SQL, I would have more respect for DBA's if they wrote code like that :)

xacc.ide - now with TabsToSpaces support
IronScheme - 1.0 beta 1 - out now!
((lambda (x) `((lambda (x) ,x) ',x)) '`((lambda (x) ,x) ',x))

Whoa, that's incredible. Somehow I get this idea the DBA must have had some spare time (I reread it and the guy said he was bored one day).

What the ....! :wtf: Yep, it worked! That trick elicited the proper reaction from me. Gotta give the some serious credit. I know about 4 DBA's, and NONE of them could ever write code like that.

Yeah, but what has this to do with writing a mandelbrot visualization in SQL? (rhetorical question)
