"I heard a great quote recently from Abraham Lincoln that I think applies. He said "If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend six hours sharpening the ax."I totally agree, and I would add that I have seen way too many people in the past try to chop down the tree with a sharp Swiss Army Knife. You have to be using the right tools for the job as well as do the appropriate planning and architecting upfront.:-D
And I'd spend 15 minutes getting some dynamite, 10 minutes setting it up for safe use, less than a second blowing the tree's trunk, and then take the rest of the 8 hours off for goofing around on TreeStumpRemovalCentral.com. 😀
(In other words, yeah, I've seen far too many doing exactly what you wrote. Or worse - SQL equivalent of chopping down a tree with a spoon or a water baloon.)
