[Quoted] [Quoted] If you would have advised to file the Oracle remark as a 'documentation bug' this would have been funny.
[Quoted] [Quoted] However, as your second remark usually applies to users just hacking away to [Quoted] install the product, without ever reading any docs, it needs to be considered as hostile and insulting.
[Quoted] If you think Oracle products are lacking in quality, call Support (or didn't [Quoted] you buy a support contract) or stick to sqlserver, postgres, or mysql, or [Quoted] any other toys, which are recommended in these groups more than once.
