@Rob I don't get the reference to Brent Spiner here, care to educate me a bit?

Rob

Commander Data, Master of SQL. It's supposed to be a complement.

rene

Ah, I didn't make that connection. Thanks, compliment accepted

Complement vs. Compliment

lexico.com/en/definition/complement

Complement:

1. A thing that completes or brings to perfection.

2. [in singular] A number or quantity of something, especially that required to make a group complete.

3. One or more words, phrases, or clauses governed by a verb (or by a nominalization or a predicative adjective) that complete the meaning of the predicate.

- IE; It makes it more humourous. @Sha,

If I simply said Data fixed it, who would understand that reference?
