Shhhh....Oracle is asleep. (Or perhaps the listener has gone down again)

The systems fine with no users loggged in. Can we keep it that way ?br>

Quite a while back I had to write some trivial .Net code to pull some data out of oracle. It turned out to be quite a mission, I had to install something like 200mb of database drivers and edit numerous text configuration files just to establish a connection.

Anyway, I mentioned to a workmate my disbelief at how complicated such a simple task had become.

He just nodded sagely, and said "You know why oracle is like an onion?"

I asked him why

"Because the more layers you take off, the more you will cry"

Quite a coincidence, I went to a Oracle 11g launch presentation today.

Q: How many Oracle DBAs does it take to change a light bulb ?
A: Three - it takes three Oracle DBAs to do anything.

Q: How many SQL Server DBAs does it take to change a light bulb ?
A: None - SQL Server automatically changes light bulbs.

SQL = Scarcely Qualifies as a Language
