iAmNaN71316yI think the point of the lesson may have been that one can write a SQL statement that will work, as in not return an error, even if it is not correctly written. It is as important to understand that, as it is to know how to write a correct SQL statement that returns the correct data set.

Marl3x27796y@iAmNaN I dont think so, our teachers at our school just want to get their point across and if you're talking with them they don't even try to understand whatever you're saying, they just want to prove you wrong by squeezing the wrong answer out. Thats why I hate most of the teachers at my school, they don't know shit but try to act like it.
He said exactly what you just said that the lesson could be: that it "wont work properly" and he still said it's wrong. -
@iAmNaN from what I get is that OP understands that, but the guy went on with patronizing which was not necessary.
-
iAmNaN71316yPart of learning is knowing what the answer is, and knowing what the teacher/instructor/professor wants to hear. They may or may not be the same thing.

Root825056yI hate people like this.
Another thing they do that pisses me off to no end: you ask A, they answer G. You clarify A, and they re-answer G. It doesn't matter what you say, they've pre-determined that you asked G, and get increasingly pissed off thinking you're telling them they're wrong. And they ARE wrong because they're not fucking listening. Giving the right answer to the wrong question makes it the wrong answer. 2-2 is not 4. -
Marl3x27796y@Root Exactly, thats one of the reason I would like to be a teacher, I hate when teachers do that and it happens so frequently.

mundo0349796yYou are wrong, teach is right.
Teach was asking ig the shtupid query would run or not, not what would the query do or how to fix it.
Teacher: "Will this SQL statement work LavaTheif?"
Me: "you need to put a 'WHERE id.."
T: "but will it work like this?"
Me: "well it wont do what you're trying to do, so it wont work properly"
T: "so will it work?"
Me: "no."
T: "wrong. It will work, but it will change everything in the database, which we dont want"
Thats what I was saying??
Also, he spent 50 mins out of our hour lesson explaining how to use SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE. I just wanted to get on with the work tbh.
