First thanks for all the great responses!

wow that was a bit extreme, imo.
DBA - that's a different story.
But re PL/SQL - please tell me what's SO DIFFERENT btw 8i/9i and 10g that warrants this kinda drastic filtering approach ?

I'd happily take a seasoned 8i pl/sql guy who has read Tom Kytes books over any 10g-certified-up-the-wazoo guy. Received on Mon Oct 25 2004 - 17:34:06 CDT
