     @volpeon I recently-ish ran into a fun problem with one component of SAP while doing some database development. They were using SAP to push some data down into a certain table. We had a foreign key constraint set up to use this table - because, you know, relational database. But we had to delete it because apparently what SAP does is just drop and recreate the table with the data every 24 hours - which means the table can't update if there's a foreign key constraint that's using it.

     So, no relationships in your relational database, because SAP says fuck you.

     At least I understand now why our interface to SAP is generally slow as fuck: It uses RFC_READ_TABLE in a lot of places

     I said the new feature would be done by Monday (this week), but thanks to the power and versatility of SAP and my coworker's quality code, it took me until today
