I'll take this personally whether intended for me or not.

Lets get something straight here ... this is the internet. No one here is getting paid. No one is being forced to post questions here. No one is being forced to answer questions here. And no one is forced to read what is posted here. If you have Oracle, and you have questions, you are perfectly free to either (A) get a book or manual and read it, (B) get a mentor, (C) go to http://metalink.com, (D) go to http://technet.oracle.com, (E) go to http://tahiti.oracle.com, (F) go to http://asktom.oracle.com, or (G) go to ....

Some people try to take advantage of us by trying to get us to do their homework from school. Some try to take advantage of us by trying to get us to do the work they get paid to do. And some people are just plain lazy. What I try to do is rebuff those that fit the above description (and yes occassionally I make a mistake in judgement) and to help those that I think have genuinely tried to help themselves and turned to the usenet after doing so.

If your maturity level is as low as demonstrated by the subject line you posted this thread under, and the explitives it contains, you can correctly assume what I think of your point of view and how seriously I will take it.

Oh and if you don't like the advice provided here ... feel free to answer the questions yourself if you can. No one is stopping you.
