A Few Of My Favorite Data Related Things...

We all have days where we need to be reminded of the fun things we do. My sister posted a Facebook post last night quoting the Julie Andrews song "A few of my favorite things" and I'd thought I'd put a "Data" spin on it.
Try singing along to this one and I hope you enjoy...


PHP on my desktop and Oracle on Solaris
PL/SQL procedures, functions and packages
Data models, blogs, wikis and workflow diagrams
These are a few of my favorite things!

DataFlux profiling, monitoring and cleanups
Pentaho Kettle cooking ETL like nobody's business
Developers that type fast and started coding with C
These are a few of my favorite things!

Third normal form and cross reference tables
Tables without triggers that don't change forever and ever
Crazy good SQL with REGEX and analytic functions
These are a few of my favorite things!

Databases with clean data that don't give me headaches
BI and reports with really cool graphics
APIs exposing data all over the place
These are a few of my favorite things!

When the batch jobs fail
When my inbox is full
When my data's bad and I'm sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad...


Until next time...Rich
