This one showed up in a code review. 'Nuff said.
string EntityID = new System.Text.StringBuilder("").ToString();

Hey - you told that intern to use StringBuilder, because it is presumed to be faster.

would of been funnier like this
string EntityID += new System.Text.StringBuilder("").ToString();

string EntityID = new System.Text.StringBuilder("").ToString()<blink>.Replace("", "");</blink>
This should make it faster;P

string EntityID = new System.Text.StringBuilder("").ToString().Replace("", "").Trim();
Just to remove any errant spaces ...

Ok, I come across stuff like this daily...but this one was the most recent
CREATE PROC foo<br />
<br />
BEGIN TRANSACTION<br />
<br />
SELECT @id = id FROM ...<br />
<br />
IF @id IS NOT NULL<br />
BEGIN<br />
...do some stuff, there is NO ROLLBACK in here or error checking...<br />
COMMIT<br />
END<br />
else<br />
ROLLBACK
It's just so...useless. We only ever rollback if we didn't do anything?

That makes the ROLLBACK extremely fast.

Defensive coding at its finest.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Well, maybe you didn't see a "set XACT_ABORT on" statement buried in the code? If that is set, then rollback is automatic whenever an error occurs.
|

Then get rid of the existing ROLLBACK.

This has a real drawback: you wont see that the code is poor.

Last Friday, I had to visit the bank to open a Term Deposit account. Just about a month back, I had requested the bank to update my communication preferences to the updated and corrected address. They confirmed but again ATM records showed the old address. They wanted one more application form towards that updation.
And for Term Deposit, again they retrieved and showed my old record. I just got irrititated and asked them about their 'sick' database system that really sucks or whether it was the nonchalant attitude of the hostile staff, they actually wanted to investigate into the issue.
The banking application seemed to have gleaming coding horrors.
1) There are two identifiers for a customer in thier system. Account Number and a CustomerID. For every relationship (Savings Account, Current Account, Term Deposit) that a customer opens, it actually copies and stores the data separately. Now, the teller has to update everything individually.
2) Give account number, it fetches from one table. Give CustomerID and the address is fetched from different table.
And given the number of customers in the bank, it means so much of data storage wasted besides the performance penalty on the system.
The software companies that take up banking projects which are interested in taking a fatty cheque home from the bank just raises the eyebrow whether they are really committed in giving a quality product?

My Wife opened an online bussiness account with a local bank. They insisted that someone come out and train her how to use it.
The reason for this was not a training issue, rather the trainer had to change all the security settings on IE to get it to work (cache https pages, etc). I wouldnt have minded if they had:
a) Told us what they were going to do
b) Didnt pretend they hadnt done it until i said i knew they changed something and would go to the press.
