Just started learning TSQL, and I have to say that I _HATE_ it. I would 
much rather use a typical object oriented language.

I understand that TSQL is just a wrapper that hides the highly optimized 
operations the server _actually_ performs. But the "spoken sentence 
grammar" type of syntax TSQL uses is highly variable and inconsistent, 
and to me very confusing and frustrating. Bleh.
