Sometimes you really need that vodka shot when things go wrong in the database

They should have a rocks glass with a query on it
SELECT * FROM liquor_cabinet WHERE proof >= 120
44> 176 shots returned.

They also give away branded needles so you can give yourself an SQL injection.
40The DBA at my old job used to keep a revolver with one bullet, and a bottle of evan williams in his cabinet. There would come many a time when he reaches for the drawer and opens it, seeing both. He always opted for the whiskey, but having seen some of our PRs, there were definitely times he lingered on the revolver.
This is a joke, btw. When's the last time you've seen a dedicated DBA lol
37Gosh I hope you took some creative liberties with that story... a coworker having a loaded gun at the office would be creepy as fuck - even if it was just in support of a joke.

That's some really clever Postgres merch.

Can we DROP the joke about DBs already?
13ElasticSearch would make me drink if I drank
12Could you do your best dunk on ES for me please? Not as in factually great, just whatever. I (ab)use quite a bit in my work, and can't say I have particularly strong opinions/feelings around it either way - I could use some help to change that xD
3My most recent complaint is about index mappings. I have 2 types in 2 different indexes that each have a field with the same name. One index has a hand written mapping. The other index is currently under active development and doesn't have a mapping for it yet so it's built automatically. When I insert into the index WITHOUT a mapping, the index WITH a mapping changes the field into a keyword and no further queries against the index WITH a mapping work. This also happens if I insert into the index WITHOUT a mapping before the other index is created. Why does the index WITH a mapping change?!? WE WROTE THE MAPPING FOR A REASON BUT ITS IGNORED!?!

You don't have to drink alone.

Bartender, I'll have a shot of that. And please clear my
TABLE, I'd rather have a niceVIEW.8That'll make you forget about the analyst who left didn't add a
WHEREclause in their "test"UPDATEstatement7Show me one which says MariaDB and then I'll be interested
6Seriously though, MySQL is garbage and its replication is even worse. It is by design that you’re not supposed to rely on it. It’s apparently a feature that the replication gets out of sync. Why have it then?
I can’t wait until I no longer have to deal with databases. The time is coming!
4death, taxes, and databases
3Tax data is stored in a database.
Birth and death data are stored in a database.
I see a pattern here.
If you are not born, and if you don't die, you won't get dumped.
2Well damn.
