"In a groundbreaking experiment at the Institute for Recursive Insanity, researchers attempted to walk an Eulerian cycle through the MusicBrainzKnowledgeGraph. Unfortunately, midway through the traversal, the Artist entity began an impromptu recording session with itself, the Release got emotionally attached to a Label it had never met, and the Recording looped back to the Artist citing existential dread. The ORM was last seen attempting JOINs with a mirror. The lead scientist concluded: 'The cycle is complete—but sanity is not.'"
📚 2. The JPQL Thesis Defense
"Doctoral candidate Jane Query attempted to defend her dissertation on 'Efficient JPQL Projection in Cyclic Metamodels.' Unfortunately, halfway through her demo, Hibernate produced two distinct execution plans, a Cartesian product the size of a small country's GDP, and an unexpected JOIN to the cafeteria database. One committee member declared the ORM to be 'operationally sentient,' while another demanded a rollback. Jane’s closing remark: 'I wasn’t optimizing queries—I was conducting performance art.'"
👨🏫 3. The Philosopher's ORM
"In the grand halls of the Epistemic Database Consortium, a philosopher-programmer pondered: 'If a JPQL query traverses a cycle without SELECTing any attributes, does it still consume CPU?' His followers, divided into JOINists and SELECTivists, debated fiercely. Some claimed the query optimized itself out of existence. Others argued it had reached ORM enlightenment. The debate ended when the database unexpectedly issued its own query titled 'SELECT meaning FROM existence;' It returned NULL."
🎭 4. Theater of the Absurd: Query Edition
"In Act III of 'Waiting for QueryPlan,' the characters Artist and Label await the ORM to resolve their cyclic relationship. Each time the ORM approaches, it forks into two execution paths and vanishes in a puff of EXPLAIN output. The meta-critic notes: 'This piece explores the futility of deterministic planning in a schema where every entity knows someone who knows them back.' The curtain falls to the slow echo of SELECT * FROM abyss."
