What is the meaning of rowid?

                      A poem

what is the meaning of rowid,
to use it, or not
that is the question
whether it is nobler technically to use rowid and suffer the consequences when rowid is changed by oracle or to use sequences instead
against the troubles of uniqueness
and by incrementing end these troubles

for who would bear the scorns of oracle support the forms developers' wrongs,
the proud dba's arrogance,
the pangs of insufficient diskspace
and the insolence of a manager
that spurns your knowledge about rowid Received on Wed Mar 04 1998 - 00:00:00 CST
