Sarcastic Query Language Style War

Description

The meme has three panels on a white background comparing SQL capitalization styles. The top-left panel says "SQL keywords should be in lower case!" above a small calm crying face and a query written as "select name, id / from products / where discount = 0 / order by price asc;" The top-right panel says "Noooo, they must be in upper case!" above an angry crying face and the same query as "SELECT name, id / FROM products / WHERE discount = 0 / ORDER BY price ASC;" The bottom panel shows a confident blond Wojak next to a chaotic mixed-case query, "sElEcT nAmE, iD / fRoM PrOdUcTs / WhErE dIsCoUnT = 0 / OrDeR bY pRiCe AsC;" with the caption "'Sarcastic Query Language' - by u/casperdewith." The technical joke is about SQL's case-insensitive keywords and how formatting preferences can become more emotionally charged than the query semantics.
