Oh, you mean when the feeling of "blush" runs all of you, the lowly feeling in your stomach where you are about to get sick, and the panic that follows knowing there is no "turning back"? That is my "oh well, time for a beer" moment:-) -----Original Message----- From: Joe [mailto:nigel.tufnel1@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2005 2:21 PM To: Oracle-L@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: OT moment of doubt What would you call that moment in time after you do "rm *.dbf" on all your database files, where you suddenly panic about whther you're on the right server or not? This happens to me all the time, even after checking, even after 17 yrs of DBA-ing. Kinda like that feeling you get when your chair starts to tip over backwards but you catch yourself. :P Joe -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
