It must be the time of year or something. Yesterday
was an unfortunate day for me, too, but at least it
wasn't Oracle related. :-)
I was attempting to increase the RAM in one of my
systems to 4G and mis-seated one piece and melted all
my RAM (3x1G) in the system as well as the
motherboard. It was a really good system, and the
replacement cost was *high*. Oh well. But, enough of
my rubbish.
If I notice a trend in many Oracle discussions lately,
on this lists and others, it seems to be a general
lack of accountability by 'supposedly' qualified
Oracle people, and/or their management supervisors.
This results in our frustration, and surely
frustration by our management experiencing
errors/failures due to 'simple ignorance'. Unresolved
errors/frustration are also difficult to handle.
Its very encouraging to me when I see 'new' and
positive things like this presentation:
"...describes the motivations, attitudes, and
mechanics of testing conjectures about Oracle..."
http://www.hotsos.com/e-library/abstract.php?id=41
Surely, the process Cary describes, if adopted, will
help identify and root out 'simple ignorance' and some
of our frustration with 'supposedly' qualified peers
[myself frequently included ;-)]. I am impressed and
amazed by the tact of some of our proven experts w.r.t
the scientific approach to Oracle. Thanks to them.
Have a great 'rest of the year' if you relate to the
subject line. :-)
Regards,
Mike Thomas
