YES !!!!!!!! Once upon a time while self-employed as a high powered consultant, er uh, lowly DBA contractor, I was coming into my client about 7AM facing an URGENT recovery of a key production system. I reviewed the manuals on my laptop while riding the train and stood in line for a Venti Sumatra at Starbucks. When I walked in the director looked at my coffee cup but said nothing. Within a few minutes the recovery was complete. Later the director asked about why the recovery went so smooth. My reply was, "Good backups and good coffee." The director had hands on technical experience and appreciated the value of both. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Orr, Steve INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
