Morning Paul,
when you say 'sh*t off a shovel' do you mean responses are very quick, or very slow ?
The reason I ask, is because in a past life, I worked in a boat yard up in Scotland and invariably found that when cleaning out the drains (which I had to do on occasion as I had the strongest stomach and lowest rank !) that sh*t doesn't come off a shovel very quickly - esp the sticky stuff :o(
Sugar, on the other hand, does come off a shovel very quickly. (Distillery influence !)
I suspect you really meant to say 'sugar off a shovel' because the HP Superdome is a very quick bit of kit indeed. One of our customers has 4 of the b*gg*rs !!!
Cheers,
Norman.

Totally off-topic, sorry. We recently got access to a Superdome to
install a
dozen or so (badly configured; not our fault) instances.
I'm totally bowled over. It is 100 miles away but it responds like s**t
off
a shovel.
Usually I detest the idea of throwing hardware at a bad database, but I
have
to respectfully admit to Messrs Hewlett and Packard (or is it Compaq
now?),
that this seems to be a serious piece of kit.
Regards,
Paul
