The DBA at my old job used to keep a revolver with one bullet, and a bottle of evan williams in his cabinet. There would come many a time when he reaches for the drawer and opens it, seeing both. He always opted for the whiskey, but having seen some of our PRs, there were definitely times he lingered on the revolver.

This is a joke, btw. When’s the last time you’ve seen a dedicated DBA lol

ElasticSearch would make me drink if I drank

I wanna take a shot of something else every time I have to do anything with databases…
