Little Bobby Tables is my favorite XKCD strip of all time, and I don't even actively work with databases.
I really love it, too.

the joke was actually named after him. This is the Sir Robert Tableton that served as the basis of the entire joke premise.
That whole story line of the hacker mom is wild. As far as I recall little Bobby did not inherit his mother's skills.
Nah, he used to work with databases but it's really not his passion.
