I have posted a question titled " query to join two tables in 2 different Oracle schema" on oct 7. Mr Alan suggested to Turkbear that "it's a homework assignment." And then on Oct 8 Mr Alan started this thread "Attention Experienced Professionals."

I agree with Mr Alan that we should not do homework for student.

Frankly I am 48 year old, and I won't deny to everyone that I am still a student, even I have been working since 18. For me, life is learning and earning without a break.

I am not a DBA; I earn my living as other profession. I was in the one profession for 20 years and I have been on my current profession for 10 years. My current job requires me to have database knowledge. Even the question I have posted may be newbie question to you professionals in database field, I don't think only DBA can post questions to this news group. And no one should put a rule for posters saying that if your questions are stupid, don't post them.

If you think it's student questions, don't answer them.

I hope you all have a good day. Received on Sun Oct 10 2004 - 00:34:09 CDT
