Re: oracle beginners

Which -of course- was exactly what I intended. Initially I was considering the use of that famous four letter acronym. I didn't intend to insult anyone, I am a christian myself, and I do believe it is not forbidden to make jokes about my religion and/or to use religious terms in making jokes. Life would be truly boring without it. I apologize if I offended anyone.
And yes, I do agree, that people, who don't read anything, are a growing problem in Oracle newsgroups.

Sybrand Bakker, Oracle DBA
