It's a half eaten pretzel balanced on top of 2 rolls of toilet paper. Not the worst ERD I've seen!

If the symbols were the other way around it could be a graphic of a euphemism for falling over.

Ok... one final set of hints...
If something goes wrong, they call the DBA and that's 24/7/365.
They also blame the DBA and the database for everything until the DBA can prove otherwise.
The top symbol is a body part that both men and women have. The thing that looks like a horizontal line is just exactly that.
And, of course the bottom symbol is the sign of infinity. There's a 7 letter word that begins with "F" that also means "infinity".

Rather than continuing to torture with trivia... the answer is...

I was thinking, “ass on the line...something”. I just could not get the infinity symbol to fit. I even thought, “my ass is always on the line” but thought it was a stretch.
The way you phrased it, it makes perfect sense.

built a report from an SQL database for a big international customer. The actual recipients of the report were their customers. So, the output was requested in the most common format - CSV.
Almost immediately they started complaining about incorrect account numbers in the report. Tirned out, 18 digit account numbers have been converted to float numbers while importing to Excel.
Can you suggest a workaround for this issue?
Apart from moving to Open Office?
Only way I know is to put apostrophe before the number, it will appear when the file is loaded in excel but at least it will not be converted.
that was the first thing I did - they were not quite satisfied.
Apostrophes had to be manually removed after importing, or all sorts of lookups they've been using would not work.
If you want a real wacky long winded way, create a 2003 XML Worksheet formatted file with .xls extension. They will get the usual excel data differs from extension prompt but least the data will load correctly formatted.
Far away is close at hand in the images of elsewhere.

I must have explained that issue (opening CSV in Excel rogers the underlying data) more than a thousand times.
Access solves the problem, but how many accountants use Access?
