Radiohead lyrics in Oracle RDBMS code
Dennis Yurichev
strings oracle.exe | grep radiohead
Starting at least at 10.2.0.1, function kfasSelfTest_update() (located
in kfas.o) use Radiohead lyrics to test... something related to ASM
probably.
Schematic pseudocode:
#define STRING "I'm a creep, I'm a winner, what the hell am I doing
here.I don't belong here - radiohead"
kfasSelfTest_update()
{
kfasOpen (...);
somestruct.somevalue=STRING;
kfasUpdate (somestruct);
kfasClose (...);
newstruct=kfasOpen (...);
if (strncmp (newstruct.somevalue, STRING, ...)!=0)
{
// raise error 99999?
kserec1(99999, 1, ...);
kserec2(99999, 1, ..., STRING, 1, ...);
return 0;
};
kfasClose (...);
return 1;
};

Sadly, if this is true, the lyric is wrong. The actual words are:
"I'm a creep, I'm a _weirdo_. What the hell am I doing here. I don't
belong here."
Maybe I'll log a SR.... :P

That's right, they should issue patch.

The presence of the message seems to be both version platform
dependent. I cannot find in on AIX 10.2.0.3 but it can be found on
Linux and Solaris.

I think we should tell Richard - he's a fan of Radiohead (maybe he can
even provide the German translation for the patch).

It is a little hard to get the words correct here if you have not
listened to the song several times.
Or you skip the double checking part ( aka QA ) ... which seems to be
a re-occurring problem with oracle software ported onto multiple
platforms lately.
