Yum? Someone just ate the database

I'm always amused when I connect to a website of an established company or other organization and instead of seeing a well designed, intuitive, nicely rendered HTML page, I am looking at an error message of some software that apparently has failed. From my memory, the leader in this space (granted, nothing to be proud of) is probably MySQL. I have seen countless websites blow up with nothing much than a MySQL error. Not good, particularly since those guys claim to be enterprise-ready and suitable for mission-critical applications.

Now, you could argue that the website of my football team shouldn't be considered mission-critical, but it's embarassing nevertheless. So, instead of knowing scores of the teams, I'm looking at garbled techno-babble.

What's with the yummies? Someone nibbling at the SQL statements? Ugh.
