The original makes more sense by not having that where clause Post by Seth Rosen on X/Twitter: Them: Can you just quickly pull this data for me? Me: Sure, let me just: SELECT * FROM some_ideal_clean_and_pristine.table_that_you_think_exists

WHERE the_data_matches_the_vaguely_defined_parameters_in_your_head_that_you_never_told_me
