And therein lies MarkA's problem. He doesn't read anything about Oracle except marketing drivel produced by a competitor. He doesn't actually know anything about the subject. He just throws stuff over the cubicle wall and hopes it will stick: Likely writes code the same way.

At one time I thought he might actually know something about DB2 but now I don't even think that except at a superficial level.
