There are lots of problems with Oracle's usability. Not one of which you have ever pointed out because you don't know enough about the product to have found them.

Basically you are asking the mountain to come to you rather than go to the mountain. You somehow think that either all of us are Einstein's, we are not, or that Oracle should be rewritten for the feeble of will and/or the illiterature: I pray they don't.

Oracle is not complex for the sake of being complex. It is complex because that is what it is.

You are still operating in a world where you think Oracle should be MS [Quoted] Excel on steroids and you wouldn't make it three weeks in my classes [Quoted] with my students. Here was the curriculum during those first three weeks:

User defined data types
Anydata Datatype
Nested Tables
VArrays
Collections
PL/SQL Tables
Constructors
Type Methods
Rank
Rollup
DBMS_REDEFINITION [Quoted] My students, and those like them, will have you working at Burger King pretty soon if you don't develop and intense desire to continue your education. Consider this fair warning.
