King Arthur: "Old woman!" Dennis: "Man." KA: "Sorry. Old man! Whose castle is that?" D: "I'm 37!" KA: "What?" D: "I'm 37, I'm not old!" KA: "Well, I can't just call you 'man'." D: "Well, you could say 'Dennis'." KA: "I didn't know you were called Dennis." D: "You never bothered to find out, did you?"
At least I'm "only" on the cusp of 35. And I have 6 years "experience" with Oracle. I've lost whole databases, even, thanks to WindohsNoT running Oracle7. My experience tells me not to put Oracle on Windohs. YMMV. I've experienced upgrades, patches, and migrations -- oh my! I've experienced the joy that isn't OiD 9.0.2. I've experienced a developer who could have sworn he was in the test DB. I've experienced successful recovery with zero data loss and no downtime during core business hours. I've experienced AutoRAID. I've experienced BAARF. I've experienced Intel, Alpha, SPARC, and PA-RISC. Duhvelopers have experienced my wrath. I have experienced my own wrath during moments of Duh. I've experienced this list, with it's many helpful and some not so helpful members. And yet, there's so much I haven't experienced. Like lunch today. Standing in for Paul Harvey, I'm Rich Jesse.
