    Q: How many Oracle DBAs does it take to change a light bulb ?

    A: Three - it takes three Oracle DBAs to do anything.

    Q: How many SQL Server DBAs does it take to change a light bulb ?

    A: None - SQL Server automatically changes light bulbs.

    Would you mind notchanging the light bulbs while I'm trying to read?!

    There is no truth to the following rumors:

    MySQL is proposing changing WHERE to WHEN to emphasise the "real time" nature of the Falcon engine.

    Oracle touts it complexity as a new "security" feature.

    DB2 introduces ROLL OVER for transactions to make the succeed even if there are conflicts.

    SQL Server introduces SORT OF and KIND OF as extentsions of LIKE to make things more warm and fuzzy.

    No truth, I tell you. NO TRUTH!!
