Lots of times we don't have control over what tables get dumped into a database backup, or we have to work with an .sql file that someone else made. Drupal's cache and temp tables can make those dumps mighty large...
What is jReject?
Often times, either through lack of manpower or will, we'll create a web page that looks great in modern browsers but falls apart in old ones. Rather than fielding comments like "Your page is broken!!", wouldn't it be nice to let your visitors know that their browser is out of date?

The Drupal 7 version of admin_menu isn't done yet, and once in a while you'll get an admin menu full of stupid duplicate links.
Here's a sql query that will find and delete the offending duplicates for you (use at your own risk)...

Given the following Drupal code and assuming that dummy_column doesn't exist in the users table, what is printed? Here's a hint from the php manual
