  I understand.

  The debug logs you posted disagree.  Many of the messages you posted
included debug logs that were *only* possible if you did extra edits.

  Many of the "different problems related to sql" were caused by
unnecessary edits you did.  The debug logs you posted are clear on that
subject.

  I understand that you think your methods were trying to solve the
problem.  We're trying to convince you that you need to change your
methods.  Do *less*.  And don't just follow instructions, don't do
*extra* things that aren't in the instructions.

  Those extra things caused 3-4 extra rounds of email on the subject,
where you posted problems, and we tried to convince you to *not* do the
work that caused the problem.
