RE: Sr. Oracle DBA Needed in Ft. Lauderdale, FL..

Yeah, I think it was actually a bug! But I do remember getting two rows back at some version of 6. Since I was just starting out in Oracle, I figured at the time that was why the pseudo-table was called dual, and I was mighty surprised when the second row went away!

Then again, I guess it could just be a hallucination -- since I've been doing this for 8 years now. ;-)

Are you sure ?
I'm the kind of sad puppy that still has all my sql*plus documentation for v6
(and forms3 and reportwriter etc etc )
and I cannot recall dual ever coming back with two rows

I do remember DUAL at one point (in version 6?) actually returned two rows.

Thanks for the little history. I often wonders why that name whenever I sees it. Got any others? :)

Then, IF statements and looping capabilities were added to UFI (User Friendly Interface), and the name was changed to AFI (Advanced Friendly Interface). But alas, the AFI functionality was released as PL/SQL. However, the AFI name lives on -- where? ... The temp file created when using SQL*Plus edit command. This file also reflects Oracle's early VMS ties. AFIEDT.BUF. (EDT is the default editor in VAX/VMS).

history lesson for the day.

I started with 4.1.0 in 1983.... Been working with Oracle in the last 4-5 jobs. Still like it.

My largest area is keeping it running smooth and fast and database trending, but I've pretty much done it all.

Started IT, then EDP... in 1971... :-P

8 years of experience... and I'd like a new Mercedes on a silver platter too, please...

Seems to me after 8 years Oracle may become boring and something else may be more interesting. Anyone been there/done that?
