Happy Holidays, everyone! Here’s your holiday database song. It’s about trying to attract DBA talent, which can be challenging. Sing it to the tune of “Little Drummer Boy”:
Come, we beg them, pa rum pum pum pum
Our new contract to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Their high demands they bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That seem fit for a king, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Dang, I feel so glum, pa rum pum pum pum,
When they come.
Oh, Mr. DBA, pa rum pum pum pum
I have a budget too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no cash to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To keep you in your bling, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
I’ll counteroffer you, pa rum pum pum pum,
A lesser sum.
The DBA nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
He signed upon the line, pa rum pum pum pum
This rate is not at prime, pa rum pum pum pum
But maybe this one time …, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Then he smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum
Yes, I’ll come.
