Lord God Sybase

Posted

ON the first day, the God Sybase said, "Let there be devices". AND devices were made and He saw that they were good being each five thousand and one hundred and twenty Megabytes in size.

ON the second day, God Sybase said, "Let there be databases" and the databases and all the supporting structure were caused to exist and they were good.

ON the third day, God Sybase said, "Let the databases be filled with tables and rows and columns, may they multiply and be fruitful"

ON the fourth day, God Sybase populated the systables with miraculous procedures and let flow the mighty triggers.

ON the fifth day, Lord God Sybase caused data to be inserted, being runes and tokens describing each and every thing and creature in the firmament.

ON the sixth day, He builteth then the indices and they were true.

ON the seventh day, He rested.

ON the eighth day, which was a Monday, some knucklehead entered a string containing a semicolon wihout closing quotes and did render the database corrupt.

THE Lord God Sybase did smite the knucklehead's access, but verily it was too late. For though the Lord so loved the database, He gave it not data sanitation procedures, and for this He was mighty aggrieved.
