For me, any time I have to write any SQL statements it's the totally and utterly unhelpful error messages:
>ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your DB server version for the right syntax to use near <insert really long SQL query>
...which, as far as I can see, haven't changed an iota in their total and utter vagueness since I first wrote an SQL query about 20 odd years ago.
