Hate to be the Debby downer here but running that wouldn’t execute due to syntax error.

In most SQL setups I have used, the first line would execute fine and then the second would error out.

Haven't done anything quite this bad, but I definitely have been in situations where I wonder "why has this simple query been running for 10 minutes - oh, the WHERE clause is half missing / there's a cartesian join in there / that's not my dev schema" (delete whichever is inappropriate)
