We got all Horror Stories about SQL. Mine is sixteen tables in a dynamic query (the query looked different almost everytime) on MS SQLServer. For a reason unknown to me today I went for table number seventeen in the query. SQL Server said NO! It took half a day to find the server setting to increase the number of tables in SQL Server Query. When I was about to click the setting, I realize that I can take a few of the tables in the huge query and join them in a view. What a waste time! But I recognize the locale stuff. It can be annoying if sometime the locale is there and others the locale don't apply. And you end up doing a Trial-and-Error.
