RE: DBA Weakest Link
Paul, It's very thoughful of you to pre-plan an activity during your party, but, with all due respect, YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING! Sound like fun? NOO!! DBA trivia at a Chrismas party?!?!? Come on, think of something EVERYONE (significant others included) can enjoy! DBAs have a bad enough reputation for not having a life - you don't need to reinforce it. IMHO, shop talk should be strictly banned at parties. Think of something a bit more fun - movie trivia, music lyrics, the best jokes I've ever heard. There should be plenty of internet sites at which you could find lots of info. for topics such as these. Or - my favorite - have anyone who knows how to dance teach the others a step or two of Swing, Salsa, etc. Get those normally sedentary DBAs off their duffs and on their feet! Have a dance contest! Jokes could have the party-goers rolling on the floor - DBA trivia absolutely WON'T. Respectfully, Jack Jack C. Applewhite Database Administrator/Developer OCP Oracle8 DBA iNetProfit, Inc.

RE: DBA Weakest Link
Rich, Have you zeroed in on the exact circumstance(s) causing your ora-00600 error? If so, I would be interested in hearing about it just so I can watch out for it. For example, I encountered a reproducible 600 error when you had a leading or trailing space in a literal -- e.g. ' This is it'. It varied on different environments, and versions, some would see the error others wouldn't. Regards, Larry G.

Re: DBA Weakest Link
Q: Why does Larry Ellison keeps asking for bigger and bigger rollback segments ? A: Because he never commits ! Anyway I don't mean to rain on your parade but i think this game your scheming is kinda dumb. Personally at Christmas party (heck or any partyesp. when there's alcohol) I DO NOT want to hear NOTHING about Oracle, or MS...NADA ! And with dutch courage I'd probably poison anyone who gets into it and gets technical.

(Pythian is an Oracle DBA Outsourcing shop.) I'm thinking of having a DBA Weakest Link game for fun at some point of the evening. Yes, I know, the partners/husbands/wives will think it's a bit of a bore, but imagine the fun for us DBAs! :-) -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Robert Chin 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).

Re: DBA Weakest Link
Uhm..Mike, you mean you've come across the *references* to it in prints/chat often, and not in your production db in your role as DBA, right ? Robert - Original Message - You gotta be kidding!
