Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: guidance
YOU HAD BOOKS? In my day, we drew on cave walls with sticks. Sticks
represented 1s. Stones represented 0s. Our compilers were VERY slow... and
we learned everything we knew about correlated subqueries by watching the
antelopes and marmots eating grizzly bears on the Serengeti (well, actually,
that was UNION and MINUS statements... the correlation can't be conveyed in
audiences which may contain young children).
HTH,
Bambi.

My dad never drove me to school. We didn't have cars in Denmark back in those days. I learned to survive. By the age of 12 I had studied and understood the excellent book Godfather by Mario Puzo, and implemented the organisational structure described in that manual in my class (5th grade). I was the lawyer. I think that might explain the difference between me and Cary today.
And yes, my father was in the Military. No need to drive your sons to school.
