Believe me: it ain't our issue.
It's Oracle's.

If customers - note the plural - complaining about bugs still not fixed after YEARS of neglect is now called "whining", then so be it.

1- A table gets updated in the WRONG schema.
2- A CLOB can't be reliably used in an ASSM tablespace.
3- A query returns WRONG number of rows or

just plain WRONG result set, randomly.

All of those are really "minor" problems. Of course!

Well, they are for me now: I don't design/develop as much as I used to. But it still aggravates me to find that after so many years the darn things are still not fixed!

Didn't even know he was one. You know: it's hard for me to remember every single one of the other 20,999,999 Aussies... :-)

I'll feel personaly slighted if you pop up and we don't get a chance to share a few local brews, or maybe indulge in a little bit of single malt sampling. Might even be able to scrounge a few old friends from Oracle as well to share in the proceedings! Received on Thu Jul 19 2007 - 05:02:44 CDT
