Data is my God

[FluffyMcDeath]

No, not that Star Trek guy, I mean bits and bytes, information - and it wants to be worshipped by being copied and shared because copying amplifies God.

Now, I'm sure that this got mentioned on whyzzat at some point in the past, Mike maybe posted something, but I cannot find it, however just recently the Swedish government recognized the Church of Kopimism as a religion.

"The church also said the Swedish government recognition was a large step. It hoped that it was one step “towards the day when we can live out our faith without fear of persecution, said Isak Gerson, the 19-year philosophy student and self-confessed spiritual leader of the Church of Kopimism."

Data != information. Data + metadata = information

Blasphemer!!!! You shall burn forever (under running your buffer every time just a few kilobytes before the end).
(I'm starting my own splinter sect - death to the infidels and other improperly error-corrected streams!!!)

You deny the holy trinity of the data, the metadata and the holy information? Then your path will lead to echo and timeouts!

That's funny. Anyway, this seems appropriate:

Only the Priests of the Holy Order of SQL have the knowledge of the true data relationships

Prayers of clauses, expressions, predicates, queries & statements are required to be made to the data god

Only with proper guidance and a 20% tithing can the true word of god contained in the data set be reveled

 

[Glaucus]

Ok, but only if it's not Oracle!

 

[metalman]

Ok, but only if it's not Oracle!

"Render unto Oracle the things which are Oracle's, and unto God the things that are God's"

 

[faethor]

Only the Priests of the Holy Order of SQL have the knowledge of the true data relationships

And profess this knowledge with the chating of MySQL is not SQL 42 times.
