do you really think that Oracle Support has ever told anyone to call HIM to

Hm, what I wrote was this: "- We called MetaLink Support and we don’t
understand their instructions. They said that we could call you."



Yes, I get referral calls from Oracle Support and MetaLink, always when a
customer has no DBA or they have a vendor package running Oracle, and no
in-house technical knowledge to send the required trace and dump files to
Oracle support.

Um, my article refers to the "pontifications of theoreticians and
ivory-tower academics", and I’m not aware of any Oracle authors who match
that criteria.



Which of your favorite Oracle authors are you referring to?  ;-)




You also claim that I insult the Rednecks of Alabama.



I’ve been studying Redneck Theology for many years, and I’m making great
progress.  Check it out:

Anyway, lighten up!  I think we all take Oracle way-too seriously sometimes.

Sorry to ramble, but I’m still in-shock after reading something nice coming
from Nuno Souto. . . .



Take care, Y’all . . . .
