    May your pointers always be null May your ints always overflow May your floats always be imprescise May your strings never be terminated May your queries never be valid May your regexes never find matches May your markup never be parseable May your files always be inaccessible May your code have a thousand warnings I'm sure you folks can come up with much better ones. Try reversing them if you are in a good mood today. (May your strings always be terminated, etc)

                            May there always be P in your CPU. May you be required to use an interesting language. May you never develop a virus.

                                    No. It should be "On Error Goto MyErrorHandler", where the unexpected error should be logged and the application should exit, since it is in an uncertain state and hence should not be doing any further writes on existing data to prevent it from potentially being destroyed.

                                      May an erroneous hard return separate your DELETE statement from its WHERE clause.

                                        May your pointers always be null May your ints always overflow May your floats always be imprescise May your strings never be terminated May your queries never be valid May your regexes never find matches May your markup never be parseable May your files always be inaccessible May your code have a thousand warnings I'm sure you folks can come up with much better ones. Try reversing them if you are in a good mood today. (May your strings always be terminated, etc)
