Fortunately I don’t care much about the 5 year horizon. I helped usher in the
death of time-sharing so it seems apt that the resurrection of time-sharing
will usher me into retirement!
I wish you good luck being highly available to manufacturing “build to order”
plants via a WAN.
And it will be interesting to see whether the income profile to Oracle from its
biggest customers can be dislodged from on premises security without opening
them to competitive bidding from all cloud vendors. That would be almost as
risky as making PL/SQL stored packages available on competing databases.
But please do keep me up to date on Oracle’s strategic business plan.

Subject: Re: Managing large ASM trace files
Sadly, of 63 enhancement requests voted into the first Oracle VLDB list circa
1992, one of the highest ranking losers was to automatically grandfather all
trace files down one directory into a date named subdirectory dYYYYMMDD (the
leading d being optional on OSes that support all numeric “folder” or directory
names.
Mark, unfortunattely ease of use and friendship are software features that have
neven been a priority to the Oracle Company.
And in less than five years, I guess, there will be no more on-premisse Oracle
software. Oracle has no more interest in this model. It's dead.
