As an aid to many folks that rely on this forum for help with Oracle,
I thought the following URL might be useful:
"How to Ask Questions the Smart Way"
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
There are a number of "questions" appearing here that provide
very limited information as to what is happenning (or not happening),
platform information, what led up to the problem, etc.
Reading the article cited previously will cause more people to
take a look at your problem. Currently a lot of knowledgeable
folks just skip over any items that do not provide any info, and/or
are vague.
Here's a recent example of a post that provides good information
about the question being asked:
//www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/04-2007/msg00154.html
If you feel that requires too much effort, don't be surprised by
the lack of response.
