My mother in law just died last night. Been a rough few weeks. She was old and in a nursing home for a while, so it was expected. Still not fun though.
Sorry to hear about that. My father-in-law died this past January and my father is in the hospital on end of life care, so I can relate.
Thanks guys.
Jack - that is rough. Do you happen to be geo-closer to your Father since you are back in the North East?

Fortunately, because of the timing, yes I am geo-closer because of the relocation. My parents have wintered in FL the last 2 years and were planning on returning there this week, before my dad's health crashed. He's close enough that a trip to the hospital after work is possible. It's not a short drive, but it is doable without being out until 2am.

I know a few people here have used Oracle quite a bit over the last year or so. I'm having trouble creating a linked server connection to an Oracle database. I'm getting the error
tns listener was not given the service_name in connect_data
when I try to connect. Any ideas? Is there a forum here where I should post this as a question?

Check you tnsnames.ora, you should find the service name/SID in there.

The real short answer here is :Why = Pourquoi
What for = Pour <space> quoi.
In the case of your sig, it's definitely 1 word.
Well, as it's definitely a "What for" and not a "Why" I don't understand why you say it has to be one word?
It's "For what do these people exist" not "Why do these people exist".
My memory may be playing me up, but I'm pretty sure I recall it being written as two words in the early 90s, when I first saw it.

My condolences on your loss Jim. It's never an easy thing to lose a loved one, even when it's expected. Hope all in your family are doing ok.

I'm not a french teacher but I'm more than decent at spelling and I promise you it's 1 word unless you completely mis-expressed your intention.
In both meaning of the phrase you still have to use only 1 word unless I'm missing a deep nuance in the language (wouldn't be the first time).

In this case, I see the intent that Tom is trying to express and I believe Pour Quoi is correct.
Pour quoi = pour cela, pour quelle chose (c'est l'opposé de 'pour qui').

I'd like to know if mor than 10% of the people actually read the sig.
And from that, if anything over 5% actually understand french.

I think it is more a "willful blindness". I have no desire to work with Oracle, so my eyes just skim past it. : -)
