I'm afraid a "conversation" with Derek S can rarely be anything else, unless you agree to be heavily patronised. Derek hates Oracle with a passion only matched by his ignorance of it. I once spent an inordinate amount of time trying to get him to explain to me why Oracle is a "row processor", a term he seems to have made up. After dozens of emails in which I had to do all the heavy work he eventually declared that he had now learned that it no longer was a "row processor", but had once been one (presumably in or before the early 1980s). Of course he refused ever to explain what he meant by "row processor" because (I inferred) he deemed me too stupid to be able to understand if he did.
