Thanks for the insight, I will check it out when I get back
I am not happy about the situation either and I told them to use an
oracle expert instead, which would probably do the job in a matter of
hours. I got no response. So, I end up getting paid for learning some
new stuff. I think there are a number of reasons for this situation.
1) they are very security conscious, so they wont let anybody in to do
any work until the have signed agreements, been trained and security
cleared. (There is 19 courses one must do before beeing allowed to work
there, it applies to everybody, from employees to contractors to even
the cantine personell)
2) the prefer to do things inhouse
3) they want people to stay there for a long time, so expert support
personell can not come in an do a couple of hours of work, thats just
unheard of in this company.
They basically want to do everything themselves. There isnt even any
expert groups at enterprise level that can be contracted to do the job.
Probably because its in another location, so I suppose they think its a
security breach somehow.
