Want to have a good laugh?... read on... I don't think its OT :)

A few minutes ago, my co-worker DBA was 'ordered' by one of the Oracle Duhvelopers from our 'preferred vendor' to fix the DUAL table so that the application will get a *specific* Sequence Number for something.

DBA: Why do you think DUAL is the problem? Duhveloper: ...'cause I see the PL/SQL code that says 'from dual'.

Boy! Are we in trouble or what?? ;)
