  • RE: Compressing Integers

    Interesting. However, the question doesn't actually say if those are one trillion different integers, or if there are repetitions. If there are one trillion different values, I doubt there will...

  • RE: Saving For Christmas

    These questions certainly require a fair bit of mind reading to get "correct". But remembering the debacle from the previous installment and the following discussion, CEILING will accomplish what Steve...

  • RE: Distributed Replay Targets

    Doh! I missed the "Distributed" part of the heading. There's nothing in the docs about regular replay that says anything about versions for replay targets.

  • RE: Dropping Audit Sessions

    Not quite sure I agree with the answer. There is a difference between what I must do and what I should do. According to the quoted article you do not...
