Something I discovered at work today:

A sub procedure that takes three arguments:

A table name
Column list
Where clause

It concatenates all of those values together and executed the dynamically generated query.

Why??????????

I would assume it's some sort of identity function.

@SortOfTested no. It's exactly what I said. It's used on the front end to.... Populate <select> lists????

The text suggests more db than FE. That is weird for front end though. More reason to FP all the things.

Sounds like poor debug fuckery.

Eh, why make life harder on intruders than it needs to be? Just give 'em the one function that they can screw the whole system with. It's like Londo said: "Ah, arrogance and stupidity all in the same package. How efficient of you!"
