Things I wished more developers knew about databases
THE thing I wished more developers knew about databases: they are badass when it comes to data manipulation.<p>Stop sucking all data and manipulate it in your language of choice. Tell you DBA what you want done and let her do it for you.<p>Really, DB's may look like they are the special needs kid in the chain, but they're  magnificent powerhouses when it comes to 90% of what you are trying to do to data.
