I disagree.  I challenged several of my coworkers to solve FizzBuzz a
few weeks ago.  All of the solutions were pretty much the same except
the one from our lead DBA.  He solved the problem in a stored
procedure without using a cursor.  It was exceptionally clever and
totally horrific at the same time.  We gave him the "Most
Inappropriate Use of Set Theory" award.
