Glenfiddich is very good, but I vote for Laphroaig from the Isle of Islay.
Wanna know what an idiot I am?  A couple of years ago, Laphroaig gave away 1
square foot of their distillery if you bought a bottle and filled out all
the paperwork.  Well, I did it, and am the proud owner of 1 square foot of
the Laphroaig distillery!

Cheers!

Jim

Rachel,

Well...umer..ah..maybe.

You know, Martin Sheen was drunk during the filming of many scenes of
Apocalypse Now.  I just thought I would follow Coppola's lead and get all
the actors/actresses drunk for a more free-flowing performance.

Wait 'til I break out the virtual schnapps shots ;)

RE: Database Links

2001-05-31 Thread Hawkins Family

Tracy,

I have a similar deal going on here.  If you are on version 8.1.x and the
lookup tables are large, you can use Materialized Views, and since they are
lookup tables that shouldn't change much, you should only have to refresh
them every once in a while.  If they are really small tables, however, you
can just use database links.  What I do is create a view across a database
link on top of the lookup tables.  I then create a synonym on the view that
is the same as the lookup tables' name.  The users, then, have no idea the
tables don't exist locally.

We have several large look-up tables that we use in development as well as
in
production environments.  The data is the same in both environments.   I am
looking for some comments regarding whether or not we store duplicate data
in
each environment or should we allow the development users to access the
table
in production through a database link.  Below, I have listed some issues
with
both of these processes and am looking for further input.  Thanks


Duplicate table in production and development (either through export/import
or
snapshots):
   Cons
additional storage is need
process needed to keep tables in sync
   Pros
 reduced network traffic


Access table in production through a database link in development:
   Cons
additional network traffic
possibility of poorly tuned adhoc sql executing in a production
environment
   Pros
only one copy of table
do not need an ongoing process to keep the tables in sync
