After having listened to the tranquil ponderings of the Yak Oracle, I have some advice for all the little Yaks out there that hopefully will benefit our little herd.  1. Focus on SQL. That's what Yaks do best.2. If a fellow yak pisses on your grass, walk away. --There's plenty of grass for everyone.3. If a yak wants to act like a jackass, let him. --People don't come here looking for jackasses. --They do come here looking for good Yak advice.4. Stay calm. There isn't a lot of demand for an angry Yak.5. Give good advice. Maybe you'll be a Yak Oracle someday. :)6. Don't eat dead grass. --There's too much fresh grass lying around.--No sense in eating what happened yesterday.7. Help out young Yaks, respect old Yaks, and mind your own business.--It's just the Yak thing to do.MeanOldDBAderrickleggett@hotmail.comWhen life gives you a lemon, fire the DBA. |

I knew I'd heard that somewhere (but I'm in Seattle). I thought maybe it was an Alaska Airlines commercial. They do funny/oddball ads like that all the time.--------------------------------------------------------------Find more words of wisdom at [url]http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/markc[/url] |
