What do you know? All we have to do is bring this whole third party subject up and bingo!:

http://www.remote-dba.net/vendor_support.htm

complete with a new book from that camp on "how to tune third party" stuff.

Of course, it won't go unnoticed to those here that the subject of how bad third party apps are and how much attention they need and how many problems they bring was brought up HERE by yours truly and Daniel. NO ONE else had the cojones to talk openly about it or make strong points about this subject.

Guess who are now the experts on the subject and who will be recognized as "credible"? I can see the "certification" parade very soon. What will it be now? "Third-party apps master OCP"? :D

I'm sure a few books from the "expert factory" above will fix all that! As soon as the Geomancers of this world stop talking about logical I/O it will all become clear and obvious.

Oh, mine are OK. I'm mostly doing design and development nowadays and the mob I work with are fairly clued when it comes to this. But yes, I know only too well what you mean.
