Re: Unusual question

The $ is there for everybody. Don't worry. On Danish keyboards there's an Alt-Gr key that needs to be pressed along with the 4-key to get a the $-sign or with the 2-key to get the @-sign. I wonder what idiot came up with that idea?

They find out which way is supported with the OS/keyboard they are using to create a "$" character.
It's like saying "I have a french keyboard with the é character and I create a table with that character in the name. How will someone with a US keyboard select from that table?"

I teach Oracle certification classes at a local college and a
student asked me a question that has me stumped. We were talking
about the V$ views and he asked: How do DBA's in Germany query the
views when they don't have a $ on their keyboards?
Thanks.
