I'm sorry I didn't have time to look at this thread
when it was live - a quick check through a small
section of its history makes interesting reading.
My only contribution, Dan, is that you missed
out a couple of classifications:
4) how the designer specified it
5) how Oracle Marketing thinks it works

Umm...I did not really intend it to be humorous... (don't worry, no offense
taken)
In my current and past research and daily tasks, I am encountering all 3
classifications. My first exposure to this was my work on
rollback segments. I quickly realized that there was a lot of mythology and
lack of understanding, strongly supported by
documentation, papers and presentations. When I really dove in to 9i
Automatic Undo, it was reinforced.
Have a good weekend,
Daniel
