This is for entertainment only and that is why I posted it in "Anything that is NOT about SQL!" category.

This category isn't really limited to entertainment, but if so, whatever.

Yes, definitely one of the top 10 must-have skillz for DBA's.
I got all the pics from mssqltips.com. It seems to me that reading/writing on glass panel in reverse is definitely trending these days. The little gummy guy has definitely got it down. He (yes, it's a he) needs to work on his diagraming skill though - just look at the Customer table. LOL

Nice circular reference there. Run in fear.

Kind of but they're all using the wrong finger. 😉 Heh... bloody non-quals. 😉

--Jeff Moden

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
