Thanks, Jason...

Funny about these free offerings, though... they teach all of the bells and whistles on the new product (ie. Propaganda 😉 ), but they never teach folks how to write database code effectively...

... maybe a couple of us should get together and start a new school... Only one big course would be offered... "How to write effective, high performance code without really trying."

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Jeff:

There are quite a few people that do that already ie:start a school!!! I work at Microsoft and

this posting is a FYI only. Use it for its intended purpose <----- it is free training.

Is it a propaganda? Yeah may be... Then again, aren't we all products of propaganda?

"... maybe a couple of us should get together and start a new school... Only one big course would be offered... "How to write effective, high performance code without really trying."

"Attending one big course ..." = "ABLE to write effective ... code" --- I sincerely doubt that !!!!:)

Jason, thank you for the very high compliment. As any one would probably ask, doing what and for how much? I'm thinking that, at this point, a PM would probably be appropriate 🙂

My best "personal" qualification is that I hate Oracle and would do just about anything to sway people away from it 😛
