/Clip

Ross Mohan as her feisty sidekick. (envision Joe Pesci)
/Clip

"Nice Cutting Lisa.  So l-user, is it funny now?  Does she make you laugh?  Like a clown?  Looks like we'll have to rewrite that song.  'The ankle bone's connected to the spinal cord...'"

/Clip

Rachel Carmichel, as the goddess of manager destruction. Watch as she stuffs a chair down the throat of a manager for his really stupid ideas.

/Clip

Manager:  "But Rachel, don't you think that we could eliminate that 450g worth of data and save a lot of money in training, dba costs and license fees if we converted everything to Excel Spreadsheets?  Why are you looking at me like that?  No, now put down that chair that could be an OHSA recordable.  Open Wide?  Oh, you silly.  I've already had brunch with the steering committee.  That's where this excellent excel idea came from.  We can do this right?  I figure 450 g isn't that much is it?  All we have to do is get some PC's and a couple secretaries and...  No, back away.  Noooooooo."  Stuff, cram, cram.

/Clip

Eric Pierce as Master Po giver of infinite knowledge.
/Clip

"Grasshopper.  You will find all you need at these links."
/Clip

Director Jared Still, in a special appearance.  He dispatches another developer for bad locking practices:
/Clip

"Six table locks?  For a three table select?  I asked for code and you bring me this.  What have I done to deserve this disrespect.    To the acid baths with him..."

/Clip

Christopher Bowes as the thoroughly confused rookie:
/Clip:

"HELP!...  Am I an idiot?  Well, no I don't think so. What's an idiot?   RTFM? What's an RTFM?  Read the what?  What's a concepts manual.  What's a concept?  That's nice, but what is a database?  I've got to build one for my boss today.  I told him I would and my performance review is at 3pm...  Is 15 minutes enough time to build a 40 terabyte base?  But I thought DBA's did nothing but get in the way of us developers...  What's a tablespace?  What's a table"

/Clip

Other special appearances by Steve Adams, Christopher Spence, Joe Testa and lots of others from the Oracle-L.  See them all as you've never seen them before.
