I see! You really deserve a medal for correctly explaining this. I thought it ryhms with your status quo: mutilations!

I guess your status quo is now: pinky

I might at somepoint decide to listen to fools; but the product does not require this parameter set to anything. However once you turn timed_stats on
you are querying lots of x$ tables and this is done using views, select statements, etc. and you would reduce overhead. Not much really; just in the range of few points 2%-5%. OMLET paints pretty picture for you using SQL and that involves overhead.

But I guess you already know that! The original message I posted for "leading experts" I really did not mean YOU; Pinky.

I thought you would list those as well:

1) Visit Google and hunt around for advice.

2) Take nothing on face value: test it yourself to destruction.

3) Lurk here for a month or two, and try and pick up on the sort of questions being asked, and ask yourself how *you* would answer them. Then see what answers actually come through, and compare. When you're feeling brave, post some of your answers and see how they are taken by people.

4) Buy books. Anything with the names Jonathan Lewis, or Thomas Kyte on the cover are *extremely* good bets for accurate advice. O'Reilly are good. As are Apress (used to be Wrox)

5) Avoid anything that mentions OCP (Oracle Certified Professional). The qualification is not worth a damn, and leads you straight into myth territory.

I wonder what Oracle or OCPs feel about your accusations. Let me get this, you publish all this on your web site and you are a PINKY angel!?

I am just follwing you lead; PINKY! You are not worth your PINK case.

> your target market.

newsjunkies are not my market! I mean newsjunkies who lurk here or there for a month or two! and again not you PINKY. I solicited "leading experts" help and review which I think I got none. I expected what you and people like PINKY would answer. Actually I am having FUN especially with PINKYs! Give it a rest! Received on Wed Jun 16 2004 - 06:11:32 CDT
