Re: How to speed up Oracle 9.2.0 on SuSE Enterprise Server 7

Ha Ha Ha.

That was a good one Pete.

See Paragraph 6, subsection 2, point B of the competition rules:

"Any crappy suggestions based on supposed wit, pathetic sense of humour, or willful misreading of the originating author's posts shall be disallowed at the discretion of the judges, and no appeal shall be entertained regarding the same. The Supreme Judge's decisions (that's me) shall be final".

Consider yourself in violation.
