ok, its been a long time between drinks, but just to keep my tag...

there once lived a named madhivanan
who liked databases so much that he lived in one
when his outlook grew dreary
he'd just script another query...
and now his post count reads a thousand and ninety one

(OK I used "one" to rhyme with "one" which sux - but hey, sue me. )

Or

there was a young man from near Chennai
who lived, ate and drank Sequel databii*
he ate SPs for lunch
scheduled jobs, he would munch
as he sipped his own mix of SQL-query-chai

(databii = plural of "database", when you need it to rhyme with "I")

Both pretty lame really - sorry Madhivanan, you deserve better...

Really Really Brilliant?

Actually, its kind of a long (and intensely boring) story...

but since you asked...when I first started visiting SQL team, my work user ID was rrb, so I used that.

The reason my work UID was rrb was because they used a three letter code for all contractors, and a four letter code for all permanents. They had a formula to come up with unique UIDs, which basically took the first letter of your first name (R) and then the first letter of your last name (B) and then cycled through the alphabet for the middle letter until they came to a unique code, if they exhausted all that, then they would cycle on one of the other letters etc etc

Because there had already been (asc("R")-asc("A")-1) contractors with a first initial of "R" and last initial of "B", I got "rrb". They were a swedish company - not sure if that's relevant - but I guess they never expected to have had more than 17576 contractors and 456976 permanent staff...

So (if you're not already asleep) it doesn't really stand for anything....

Sorry to disappoint.

there was a man from Tamil Nadu
who liked to post a simple quiz, or two
and for every quiz question
he had a suggestion
of an answer he could prove to be true.

Congrats - way to go.
I reckon I should start getting a move on now - if I want to keep my spot on the 2nd page - I'm slowly falling off :(
