gollark: Okay, that is... probably a better idea, yes.
gollark: Anyway, <@178948413851697152>, please do rewrite that query if you have *better* ideas.
gollark: Oh, probably, but this I can actually understand.
gollark: I have ended up writing this slightly ridiculous query: `SELECT * FROM pages WHERE updated = (SELECT MAX (updated) FROM pages WHERE name = ${req.params.name}) AND name = ${req.params.name}`(no SQL injection there, I use `sql-template-strings`)
