It also means its not a problem w/ Oracle, it's a problem with the application.
Absolutely not picking on Andrew here, since this and some of the implications are a common view, but am I the only one to think that the distinction is somewhat false. Technically a bad app is not my problem as a DBA, but professionally and in reality I view it as my problem to diagnose, report and offer solution with applications. In other words I see application level design and performance problems as part of my purview. What do others think? -- Niall Litchfield Oracle DBA http://www.orawin.info
