While we’re posting silly songs, we might as well post last year’s song, too:
The Twelve Database Days of Christmas
By Mary Elizabeth McNeely, 2009
On the first day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
An index that’s a b-tree.
…
On the twelfth day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
Twelve cache hit ratios,
Eleven time zone patches,
Ten consultants a-sleeping,
Nine sysops dancing,
Eight scripts a-spooling,
Seven users a-squawking,
A six-digit salary demand,
Five function calls,
Four TKPROFs,
Three corrupt blocks,
Two raw devices,
And an index that’s a b-tree!
Uber-geeky!!!
