An Oracle Christmas Song
Sung to the tune of “The Twelve Days of Christmas”
On the first day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
An index that’s a b-tree.
On the second day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
Two raw devices,
And an index that’s a b-tree.
On the third day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
Three corrupt blocks,
Two raw devices,
And an index that’s a b-tree.
On the fourth day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
Four TKPROFs,
Three corrupt blocks,
Two raw devices,
And an index that’s a b-tree.
On the fifth day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
Five function calls,
Four TKPROFs,
Three corrupt blocks,
Two raw devices,
And an index that’s a b-tree.
On the sixth day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
A six-digit salary demand,
Five function calls,
Four TKPROFs,
Three corrupt blocks,
Two raw devices,
And an index that’s a b-tree.
On the seventh day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
Seven users a-squawking,
A six-digit salary demand,
Five function calls,
Four TKPROFs,
Three corrupt blocks,
Two raw devices,
And an index that’s a b-tree.
On the eighth day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
Eight scripts a-spooling,
Seven users a-squawking,
A six-digit salary demand,
Five function calls,
Four TKPROFs,
Three corrupt blocks,
Two raw devices,
And an index that’s a b-tree.
On the ninth day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
Nine sysops dancing,
Eight scripts a-spooling,
Seven users a-squawking,
A six-digit salary demand,
Five function calls,
Four TKPROFs,
Three corrupt blocks,
Two raw devices,
And an index that’s a b-tree.
On the tenth day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
Ten consultants a-sleeping,
Nine sysops dancing,
Eight scripts a-spooling,
Seven users a-squawking,
A six-digit salary demand,
Five function calls,
Four TKPROFs,
Three corrupt blocks,
Two raw devices,
And an index that’s a b-tree.
On the eleventh day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
Eleven time zone patches,
Ten consultants a-sleeping,
Nine sysops dancing,
Eight scripts a-spooling,
Seven users a-squawking,
A six-digit salary demand,
Five function calls,
Four TKPROFs,
Three corrupt blocks,
Two raw devices,
And an index that’s a b-tree.
On the twelfth day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
Twelve cache hit ratios,
Eleven time zone patches,
Ten consultants a-sleeping,
Nine sysops dancing,
Eight scripts a-spooling,
Seven users a-squawking,
A six-digit salary demand,
Five function calls,
Four TKPROFs,
Three corrupt blocks,
Two raw devices,
And an index that’s a b-tree!
