I had a similar experience with a tar a couple of months ago. The support person apparently did not know how to read a 10046 trace file (huge I admit but he asked for it!). He asked me to read it and send him the important information.

Curiously, he would call me on the phone for all of the work he wanted me to do but update the tar with all of the answers I gave him as if he had done the work. Naturally, I had to update the tar with both his question and my response.

If we have to do Oracle's second level support work, what is the value in Oracle support? Why pay someone else for their 'expert' help and then have to do their job for them?
