RE: Argh.....

I see it about 50 times a year.

Fortunately in this world of database self-management and (hence) = dwindling
consulting opportunities, there are still some authors out there who are willing to put themselves on the line by writing career-threateningly = absurd
articles that encourage readers to make plenty of profoundly bad = performance
management mistakes so that we can all make a good living trying to fix them. :)

if your on a us government, bank, etc... project tell your boss there is = a
'security' issue with them. that should work. Tell him its reality to = that
security patch oracle is releasing for 10g.

My favorite database performance problem of all time.... A software = engineer
called me over to tune a query. It was returning in between .2 and .6 seconds. He couldn't understand the fluctuations and was hoping I could = get
it to return in less than .1 seconds.

real problem was that he was retrieving 1 row at a time and running this from a loop 100,000 times. He said it was too much work to change the application. I can't be the only one who has had this one. ----- Original Message -----=20
