gollark: This is an EXTREMELY reasonable way to do conditionals, lyric lυ.
gollark: ```sqlWITH RECURSIVE counter(x) AS (VALUES(10) UNION ALL SELECT x-1 FROM counter WHERE x>1), bottle(x, str) AS (SELECT x, SUBSTR(' bottles', 1, (x <> 1) + 7) || ' of beer' FROM counter)SELECT PRINTF('%d%s on the wall%d%sTake one down, pass it around%d%s on the wall', x, str, x, str, x - 1, (SELECT str FROM bottle WHERE x = x - 1)) FROM bottle;```
gollark: Yes. Well, not really golfing, it won't be very small.
gollark: The n-1 bottles line is proving surprisingly hard to get right.
gollark: I see.
