Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Quick comments on what I've read in catching up to about 100 posts:

    Congrats to Lynn on the first grandchild.

    Congrats to Jeff for the Exceptional DBA nomination.

    Training:

    There is definitely a training gap, but, I don't think there is enough work at this point to do it full-time. Most of the people I know who are working as consultants offer training as part of their consultancy, but it isn't their main income. If you can make enough as a consulant to offer a week of training every month or two you could probably do okay AND build the brand by offering consistent classes.

    To the best of my knowledge Andy Warren isn't doing training classes at his place anymore, but is still doing mentoring. I think Brian Knight has rolled all his training into PragmaticWorks.

    I think you skipped a few posts :w00t:.

  • Anyone here have experience with Oracle? I'm looking for some data that demonstrates a need to use the RANGE BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW part of the OVER clause.

    If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!

    Can't give you data from here, but sounds like a typical running total problem.

    I think that's just Steve's warning to people presenting at PASS to take care of their voices. He's showing what happens when you get a little hoarse.

  • Very interesting read. Seems like a step in the right direction.

    (Unfortunately) I have some Oracle instances here. How can I help you?

    How do I vote?? I want to vote for LJE (from earlier post, I guess Gianluca might want to too).

    Nah... I have nothing against Larry.

    Those who buy his products should be executed, instead!

    Maybe this is the reason why they're called "Executives"? :hehe:

    I think those countries might even shun that job offer.
