Sometimes you just have to COMMIT

... or the one about marriage vows written in SQL.
If I ever get married again, my wedding vows will be written in PL/SQL, with the honorable Larry Ellison presiding over the ceremony. I’m sure he’s gotten his ordination through the Universal Life Church by now.
START TRANSACTION
UPDATE life SET husband='matt', wife='annie';
Then Mr. Ellison would ask the crowd gathered at the event if there is any reason we shouldn’t be wed, and ROLLBACK; if so.
In the end marriage is about one thing, you just gotta COMMIT;.
If you didn’t understand a damn bit of that, you’re not nerdy enough, and should go learn about transactions, commits, and rollbacks.
