Its a DBa's life

I lead each day a different day, trying to look positive, bearing that smile which is hard to maintain after continuous frustrating unidentifiable hex coded uncoded, unable to decode, hidden behind a simple sentence "I cannot log in"
But today, I had reached my frustration level, started to think I ws dumb when I came across this article: http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/Fun_stuff

SDome of the excerpts are so near to my heart....:((

SELECT * FROM users WHERE clue > 0;
SELECT * FROM clients WHERE clue > 0;
etc....and so on

Yesterday: A DBA's backup song
YESTERDAY (to be sung to the tune of the Beatles' song - Yesterday):

Yesterday,
All those backups seemed a waste of pay
Now my database has gone away

Oh I believe in yesterday

Suddenly,
There's not half the files there used to be
And there's a deadline
hanging over me
The system crashed so suddenly.

I pushed something wrong
What it was I could not say

Now my data's gone
and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.

Yesterday,
The need for back-ups seemed so far away.
Thought all my data was here to stay,
Now I believe in yesterday.

Q/A
Q. What if your Dad loses his car keys?
A. 'Parent keys not found!'

and if you are a true DBa, you will go ahead to read:

The small a in DBa signifies which position I am in right now, b and c look so far away...And that this was not enough my computer denies to perform anymore for the day...I guess its just a way of telling me to rest...I can blame it on the slow processor!!

Enjoy!!....After all its a DBa's life
