Re: Greensboro, NC--SIRDUG/TRIDUG host Database Vendor Fair 9/26

Hi Paul,

As you've intentionally cross posted this spam and pissed off quite a number of people in the process, perhaps you could at the very least explain the Oracle content and perhaps Oracle Corporation's contribution to this Database fair of yours.

At this fair, are there nice rides ? I especially like fast ones that make you want to puke afterwards. Have you got any of those? A decent fair also has candy floss, love that stuff, if you've got some of that then I might consider coming over from sunny Canberra on a tax right off trip ...

However, I see a lot of DB2, but f*&% all Oracle ?
