Hi

I havent got the pleasure to met Lex. However since the first time I saw his name in one of Oracle University´s internals course (I belive it was Oracle 8i Dumps & Crashes) and then I took some Oracle Learning Network internal courses all taught by him, he has always given me the impression that he is really an expert and knows what he talks about.

Truely a sad lose for our community.

RIP Lex.

Regards
