Dang, and here I was going to the supply closet for the whips and
ropes. you never let me have ANY fun! :)
and (putting on English teacher hat) the correct idiomatic expression

I know Joe Testa has taken the exams but I don't know if he's gone
through the books. I also know that Oracle people lurk on this list,
perhaps one of them can check the docs with Oracle University?
Worst case, I know some people IN Oracle University, perhaps I can get
the info from them
