A Big party are being held to honor relational database systems & their impact on the modern society. Outside the venue, the host awaits the guests.
The limousine arrives and out steps Oracle followed by 4 people
Host:who have you brought along?
ORACLE:I have 4 DBA ' s in tow. One to install me, one to the "databases", one to administer me and the other to justify the cost.
A Second limo arrives and out steps DB2 followed by people
Host:who have you bought along?
DB2:I have 2 DBA ' s, 2 hardware specialist and consultants.
A Third Limo arrives and out steps SQL Server all in his own.
Host:why Haven ' t you brought anyone?
SQL server:i didn ' t bring anyone because I am easy to install and am basically self managing. But I did bring the #sqlhelp Twitter hashtag for the excrement hits.
Minutes later, up rushes MySQL, unshaved, hair a mess.
Host:where have you been MySQL?
Mysql:sorry, I thought it was February 31st
