Databases Memes

Databases: where your precious data goes to live until that one intern runs a query without a WHERE clause. These memes are for everyone who's felt the cold sweat of a production database migration or the special panic of seeing 'connection refused' on startup. The eternal SQL vs NoSQL debate rages on, while most of us are just trying to remember if it's JOIN table1 ON table2 or the other way around. We've all been there – writing queries that take so long to run you can make a coffee, take a nap, and still come back to 'executing.' If you've ever treated your database like a fragile house of cards, these memes will hit too close to home.
