I wrote some string processing code for an app in SSMS, where it works fine. Deployed to the server - fine. Runs fine in production. Tried to open / edit it in Toad/SS - editor hangs. Tried to create a forum post containing the code in Toad/SS - editor hangs!
Some unexpectedly evil code! Creating this post in Chrome, where the code does not hang the editor:
