Database Haiku

  • These are from Hugh Scott at SQL Server Central
    • Server is lifeless
      The customer is distraught
      Where is the backup?
    • Performance is slow
      All the disk drives are busy
      Where was the where clause?
    • The server is built
      Everything is now installed
      What was the password?
  • These are from former students. Got one?
    • I did the homework
      As difficult as it was
      Do I get an A?
