    For the past 2 years it's been all Floyd all the time! DofM, Animals, SoYCD, The Wall, MLoR, Division Bell. In album order. You just can't random play The Wall.

    I can't think of any clever titles, but many of the given ones speak for them selves:

    Money,

    Us and Them (SQL and Oracle/MySQL),

    Brain Damage,

    Thin Ice,

    Empty Spaces,

    Comfortable Numb (usually late Friday)

    One Slip,

    Terminal Frost,

    Cluster One,

    Poles Apart (DBAs and Developers)

    and the list goes on....

    A side note, there was a report in Sweden that studied classic and metal music.

    Sounds like interesting reading.

    Let's not forget Wish You Were Here (or Sid Barrett)...especially appropriate when you are cleaning up after someone else.

    How about Don't Bogart That Join (Little Feat)

    I couldn't listen to the same music every day for 2 days lt alone 2 years. I know floyd has huge catalog But i'd still get bored.

    I usually just put all (7424) songs on shuffle and skip what I don't feel like listening to or turn off shuffle if i hit something i like.

    More Floyd...

    If

    I'm particularly fond of cello concertos when I'm trying to concentrate on something...

    I like most concertos I watch most on PBS Great Performances.

    Disaster Recovery:

    Mannin' the Mirror (Michael Jackson, RIP)

    Talking about man in the mirror the city of Los Angeles wants some body to give them money when businesses there will generate $500 million dollars in two days, that does not include landing fees at LAX, just hotel and food. The only city in the US that makes that much money in one month is maybe New York at a cost of more than Los Angeles wants $2. 5 million in tourism staff.

    Depeche Mode

    Paul Simon

    Call me Al

    Billy Joel

    We did not start the fire

    Billy Idol

    Eyes without a face

    Bruce Springsteen

    Dancing in the dark

    Behold, I tell you a mystery; (our threads) shall not all sleep, but (our priorities) all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last (deadlock).

    He that dwelleth in (Redmond) shall laugh them to scorn; the (Phil Factor) shall have them in derision.

    This theory may hold for some developers. Sincerely, I don't understand this distinction between developers and dbas.

    Besides knowing how to write/test code in my development tool, I have to design databases (tables, views, triggers, stored procs, integrity,...), optimize sql code, maintain sql upgrade scripts, administer databases (development and customers'), design web pages (html, css, javascript,...), write documentation, logs,.... and play with kids 🙂

    So, what am I, developer or dba or both?

    The best part is play with my kid. Besides being great fun, I learn a lot, not school like knowledge, but paths of creative thinking from a kid with relatively unrestricted imagination. Remember the moral of the "never ending story"?

    Here's another one where a name change isn't actually required to still be appropriate...

    The good, the bad, the ugly...

    --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.
