Re: Personal Oracle Patch for XP

What is the point to pursue this word-clinging nonsense?

This is what user questioned:

"I haven't paid one red cent. Was I supposed to? I thought with the name PERSONAL Oracle....that it was free. Should I have gotten Oracle Lite?"

That was your answer:
"
All Oracle software costs money. All of it.

The confusion perhaps arises over the fact that all of it is also downloadable for free at technet.oracle.com. But they are made available for you only to evaluate and assess"

That was my correction (citied from OTN )

"All software downloads are free, and each comes with a development license that allows you to use full versions of the products only while developing and prototyping your applications.

If this is your case - you should not pay for it. " (Exactly the user case)

Anything is not clear? Any reason to begin this flame?

Do you have anything personal against me, Mr Howard?

What you did was a word twisting, which is in your amploua anyway , but this time something new:

Looks like at this point you have no guts to behave as a cultural person.

Anyone who works for a normal company knows that usually only DBAs (and very rarely PD) has access to the metalink account.

Not even mentioning that with the recent policy changes (you should know that) - every company should assign Metalink account manager who should approve anyone who is trying to get metalink access.

 Well, go ahead and continue. I guess you just like doing what you do.
