A few years ago, I remember a site that, you selected which database system you used (e.g., Oracle, MySQL, PostGreSQL, etc.) and it would spit back the most likely error you were to receive when using it.
I can't find it at the moment, nor can I find a combination of terms to search for that gets me any closer to finding it -- but if somebody else remembers it, then maybe you'll get that satire after all.
Hilarious, but not the link I was thinking of. In the link in my brain, you were asked to pick the database. I remember distinctly having to click through to find out what the error was for each one.
You know, I think I saw that too. If it was the one I'm thinking of, the results were memes. I vaguely recall the one for couchdb being something like a cartoon about um... "no SQL? so how do I query it?" "You don't; you write a distributed map/reduce function in Erlang." "Did you just rell me to f*ck myself?" "I believe I did, Bob."
...or something like that. Damnit, you'd think that'd be specific enough for google to turn up something...
Edit: Woot, dbarlett got it. I think I was failing due to my incorrect recollection that it mentioned mongo and couch, and not nosql in general.
