Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Did you ever have one of those days?
Hi,
It must be the time of year or something. Yesterday was an unfortunate day for me, too, but at least it wasn't Oracle related. :-)
I was attempting to increase the RAM in one of my systems to 4G and mis-seated one piece and melted all my RAM (3x1G) in the system as well as the motherboard. It was a really good system, and the replacement cost was *high*. Oh well. But, enough of my rubbish.
If I notice a trend in many Oracle discussions lately, on this lists and others, it seems to be a general lack of accountability by 'supposedly' qualified Oracle people, and/or their management supervisors. This results in our frustration, and surely frustration by our management experiencing errors/failures due to 'simple ignorance'. Unresolved errors/frustration are also difficult to handle.
Its very encouraging to me when I see 'new' and positive things like this presentation:
"...describes the motivations, attitudes, and mechanics of testing conjectures about Oracle..."
http://www.hotsos.com/e-library/abstract.php?id=41
Surely, the process Cary describes, if adopted, will help identify and root out 'simple ignorance' and some of our frustration with 'supposedly' qualified peers [myself frequently included ;-)]. I am impressed and amazed by the tact of some of our proven experts w.r.t the scientific approach to Oracle. Thanks to them.
Have a great 'rest of the year' if you relate to the subject line. :-)
Regards,
Mike Thomas
