    I hate these requests so fucking much. I’ve learned a lot of SQL because of it but I’m sick of it. Especially sick of the users who ask for the same data over and over again.

    One guy asked me to run a report every first of the month and then he wouldn’t respond when I would send it so I stopped sending it. Additionally because he would request it AGAIN later in the month after I already sent it at the beginning of the month.

    Guess it’s too much to search your fucking emails before requesting a new report to be run. A report that I’ve told you countless times will slow down everything for everyone else who’s using the system.

    But tHis iS uRgENt aSAp to run a report asking for all data for the last 3 years.

      Use something like Apache Airflow to automate it :)

      If it’s regular, I recommend cron + mailutils. Have the cron job call a script with a variable sleep in it if you want to make it look more manual.
