Anybody ever notice in the Index of v6's DBA manual had an entry for "Bert and Ernie" and a page number, although there was no reference for Bert or Ernie on the page?

Of course, what could compare with Digital's HELP DATATRIEVE WOMBAT ? Or VMS v4's C Language manual with all those gay references... printf("I saw four men with moustaches on Christopher Street!\n"); Ah, those were the days... back when people still had a sense of humor...

Here is the answer:
 SCOTT, is the last name of Bruce Scott, who was the early Developer working with Bob Miner (Larry's Technical Partner in 1980),  TIGER, was the name of Bruce's cat.

Source: "Oracle8i for Dummies" Foreword by Ned Dana, who worked with Bruce and Bob in rewriting the Oracle Version 3.0 in C, back then.

After all, this book has some neat things :)
