Re: oracle beginners

Hey, can we lighten up here? Just because we're DBA's or developers doesn't mean we cannot have a sense of humor. I found Sybrand's comments a very humorous way to illustrate a growing problem with some of the questions found here.

I certainly did not take it in any literal sense as a religious commentary

If we cannot laugh at ourselves we need to find another occupation that we don't get obsessed with.
