Re: OT - Vaccines

There is a whole new class of vaccines the drug companies are pushing that are supposed to prevent generally non-life-threatening illnesses like Chicken Pox. Merck's Chicken Pox vaccine ad is particularly heinous, as it promotes the vaccine as preventing cosmetic blemishes that result from Chicken Pox.

Another in a long line of medicines for healthy people with unknown long-term effects.

If you are interested in Vaccine safety and dangers, there is an organization devoted to the subject:

National Vaccine Information Center

My apologies for the off topic matter, and now for some Oracle content:

• You can update SYS.LINK$ and flush the shared pool to change the password for a DB link, rather than dropping and re-creating the link (not supported but works great!).
