Jay,
Well since he says Oracle recommends not using Longs but Oracle itself uses Longs, have the luser submit a TAR or give him Uncle Larry's email address. Should be good for a laugh or two.

Hello:
Since everyone has forwarded a comment about their war stories I would like
to offer up my Monday.
The a programmer on a client I am working at asked me to convert all of the
long data types since Oracle recommends that you do not use them.
Since we use no longs I asked what he was referring to. He said please run
a DESC on ALL_TRIGGERS, Then commented that I do not know my database.
ALTER SYSTEM DROP STUPID_USER user does not seem to be working in this
situation any ideas?
