Oracle scientist???? Tim, I usually admire your discourse but here I
beg to differ. Oracle RDBMS has not evolved,
it was created. In the beginning, there was Larry. And Larry said let
there be RDBMS. And there was RDBMS.
No science there. It's a religious thing, not a science. Oracle RDBMS
is an enormously complicated piece of software
but it doesn't elevate its high priests to the level of scientists. I
think that teaching of RDBMS evolution theory in our training
centers ought to be illegal.
