Oracle may not be a science in the strictest sense of the word, but, certainly scientific principles can be applied to researching and understanding it's behavior. Oracle is a pretty well-instrumented piece of code. It's usually, (but not always) possible to pretty clearly demonstrate and/or prove how something does or does not work. Enology? Blasphemy! What's the word for study of scotch and scotch-making? ;-) Ellisonology? Naw, not going to touch that one.....;-) Oraclogy? Sounds good to me! ;-) -Mark ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
