THE BANNER ANALYST:
I am the very model of a modern Banner Analyst,
I've information legacy, Cobol, and often type too fast,
I know the forms of Banner, and I quote the manual Oracle,
From "alter" to "varray" syntax, in order categorical;

I'm very well acquainted, too, with E-Print and Extender facts,
I optimize selections, so my Popsels do not run too fast.
About hash table indices I'm teeming with a lot of news,
With many cheerful ideas for the code behind those object views.

THE BANNER ANALYST:
I'm very good at Pro-Cobol and can interpret unix shell,
I know the very table names for Alumni and for General,
In short, in matters technical both modern and from mainframes past,
I am the very model of a modern Banner Analyst.

THE BANNER ANALYST:
I commit transactions, every three! And backup tables multitudinously,
Nothing stops me from update, I use "alter table drop constraint",
When data's too long for "varchar", I've found that "long" goes pretty far,
I update rows by tens of thousands, and roll them back to get my tests done.
In short, in matters technical both modern and from mainframes past,
I am the very model of a modern Banner Analyst.

In fact, when I know what is meant by "scope" and "update v-sysstat",
When I can tell at sight a function from an "execute immediate",
When I have learnt what progress has been made in pidm duplicates,
When I know more of "lock table" to make my programs run real fast,
When such affairs as cross-joins and exceptions I'm more wary at,
And when I know precisely what is meant by "ORA-zero-twenty-eight",
In short, when I've a grasp of more advanc-ed sqlplus,
You'll say a better Banner Ana-LYST was never known to us.
