Erm, if you bugger around with my post hard enough, I'm sure you can make it read anything you want to!

I understand perfectly that you are wasting people's time here with idle speculation about Oracle internals. That you don't actually have a business problem. That you aren't actually seeking to learn anything of practical use.

I also understand that you post vague comments about "funny things" happening when you use RMAN, but don't (or can't) actually document them.

They are clear, at any rate, that you are time-wasting. Or incompetently incapable of capturing the "funny things" and documenting them properly.

LOL! That's *so* funny!!

You have no idea, do you?!

Try doing some block dumps. I told you that already.

No, you said you'd open a TAR with Oracle. What I said was "you are idly curious" and "Oracle gets paid for dealing with the idly curious and otherwise incapable".

Slightly different.
