I had the opportunity to tussle with Oracle nested tables this week, because dealing with people who can't learn new things is so much fun. This is why, for the past ten years, I have had a huge disdain for people who don't use IDEs, debuggers, or profilers when working on code -- they think they're smart enough to reason things through, but it's amazing that it takes them longer to get things done, and when they do get things sorted, they suck. Proper tools are the robotic exoskeleton that enable decent programmers to lift cars and crush empty beer kegs against our foreheads.
So, it's abundantly obvious that I don't know how to maintain a minimal MySQL box. I had assumed that once I set up databases and grants, that would be about it for my tiny little universe of websites.
I got an IM that I was showing a "too many connections" on my wiki, and sure enough, PhpWiki was giving every browser a tremendously ungoogle-able error message. (All the hits were to sites with the same problem, not sites discussing the problem.)
I think I was talking about this sort of thing before.
