Do you really not see the difference between the question we are
discussing here and the ones Tom Kyte is answering?

You guys are mean !!!!!! Tom Kyte would have given me 10 ways of writing
the statement, would have traced every one of them under different
versions
and on different platforms, pointed out the number of logical reads,
elapsed time, et all, and told me which one is better.

Raj

Please respond to ORACLE-L
Here is the reason for that: this list would not be useful to
me if it was devoted to answering beginner's questions. List
would get flooded, I would stop reading as would many other
people. It has already happened. This list is a very valuable resource
to me and I would hate to lose it to the people asking things
like how to set prompt in sqlplus. Usenet groups are the proper place
for that.
People can learn the basics by reading books and manuals and I don't
have much sympathy for the people who don't want to read but post their
questions to this list instead. I am trying to help when I think that
help is needed, but I am also trying to discourage trivial questions
asked for 10th time.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not apologizing for my actions, I'm just
explaining them. This is my last reply in this thread because I don't
intend to create a flame war on this list. I'll surround myself with
an SEP field and vanish from sight.
the basic stuff by reading manuals
