I thought that the test as to adequate documentation was somewhat harder than that

"But again the test is meaningless except as marketing fodder for Microsoft. Which Linux packages were installed? I don't know. Which kernel parameters were set? I don't know. What were the Oracle initialization parameters? I don't know. Integers are not data. "

Don't really see a set of jpg files and a statement about failover time as meeting the standard of the article that everyone is dismissing, let alone that list above. Received on Thu Jan 25 2007 - 09:48:03 CST
