At the moment, I'm more interested in the new governator of California
then Larry Ellison. Even if oracle is out, I'll be able to do  other
things. As a former VAX/VMS system administrator, believe me, I know.

I'm just hoping that Larry won't loose interest in the next 10 years.
After that, he can sell out to CA anytime.

Allegedly, even cars will have ctrl-alt-del buttons.
I leave the automotive implementation of BSOD to your 
imagination. I can envision people bragging about their
brand new cars: I have one, I forgot the maker, but it has
64GB of RAM, 4.8 GHZ CPU  and the latest WheelBlaster+ with 
MS 2007 tires. To quote the good, old Satchmo: what a wonderful

2002-10-10 Thread John . Hallas

Jared,
You should feel upset as well as flattered. In my view you have a strong
case against Oracle for some form of compensation, as a minimum you should
be credited in the article.
Whether you can win against a  big corporation is another matter of course.
I and many others can confirm that the document has been on your site for at
least 3 - 4 years (although they state the article to be originally dated
1998).

I would certainly be in contact with Oracle about this. Perhaps a good
starting point would be your sales rep or contact at wherever you are
working now.

RE: Verrrry interesting article at MetaLink

2002-10-10 Thread Rachel Carmichael

you put the code out in the world without a comment in it about copying
is not allowed and you've made it free for the taking.

Compensation isn't likely. Credit is definitely due and should be
given.

 You should feel upset as well as flattered. In my view you have a

 Whether you can win against a  big corporation is another matter of
 course.
 I and many others can confirm that the document has been on your site
 for at
 least 3 - 4 years (although they state the article to be originally
 dated
 1998).
 
 I would certainly be in contact with Oracle about this. Perhaps a
 good
 starting point would be your sales rep or contact at wherever you are
 working now.

 Dear list,
 
 I found something rather interesting on MetaLink today.
 
 While doing a little research on UTL_FILE, I came across
 document # 1050919.6.  This document deals with how to
 dump a table to an ascii file.
 

http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_datab
 ase_id=NOTp_id=1050919.6
 
 I began to think the code looked a little familiar.  Then I
 saw the temporary file name of '_dtmp.sql', which was 
 rather reminiscent of file names I use.
 
 Further perusal revealed that the comments were written 
 by yours truly, and match word for word those I added to 
 the dump.sql script years ago.

RE: Verrrry interesting article at MetaLink

2002-10-10 Thread Mercadante, Thomas F

Jared,

I think you have a case for at the very least getting credit for your work.

It's one thing for someone to see what you've done and use the functionality
like you did.

It's completely something else for someone to lift all the code verbatim
without even changing a comment.  It just shows laziness on the Oracle
analyst part.  

What really bothers me is that it implies the person did not even test it.
If they are lazy enough to steal it, what does it say about testing
procedures?

Go get'em.  You deserve accreditation.

RE: Verrrry interesting article at MetaLink

2002-10-10 Thread Inka Bezdziecka

Jared,
Yes, you should be both.

Well, this not a legal advise, just my personal view:
 I would find a layer, who specialises in the intellectual property laws, sue Oracle 
... and settle.

Add a clause to the header, which will allow for usage of your scripts the way you 
mean it.

For all those of you, who may be in the similar situation, here is an anecdote from my 
previous life.

 When times were less certain and rules adhered to seldom and far apart, the way to 
protect oneself in case of a future legal dispute was:
 - write (by hand) on whatever you created
 - seal in the envelope 
 - send to oneself by the registered post
 - put into a safe without  opening

 Sad but real.

 Dear list,

 While doing a little research on UTL_FILE, I came across

From Oracle's Terms of Use on Metalink...

Except for information in Web sites controlled by third parties that are
accessible via hyperlinks from the MetaLink Web site, the information
contained in the Materials is the confidential proprietary information of
Oracle. You may not use, disclose, reproduce, transmit, or otherwise copy in
any form or by any means the information contained in the Materials for any
purpose, other than to support your authorized use of the Oracle Programs
for which you hold a supported license from Oracle, without the prior

third parties from obtaining unauthorized access to Technical Assistance
Requests (TARs) that you submit using the MetaLink Web site; however, Oracle
does not guarantee that third parties will not have access to any
information, comments, feedback, or materials that you submit to Oracle
through or in association with the MetaLink Web site.

Oracle claims ownership of Jared's script, which it cannot do since it does
not own the copy rights. Check copyright law, but there is a strong case for
copyright infringement. There is a difference between passing copyrighted
material on to others (giving someone a book) and claiming ownership (Look,
ma, I just wrote this great play called 'Romeo and Juliet'). If Oracle had
placed a copyright notice or attibution for Jared, I think they are okay,
but they are passing the script as one of their own.

On the non-legal side, to me there is a big difference between being used by
a corporation and used by an individual or other. Any/all of my
scripts/documents on my website are available for use by anyone who so
desires for their personal use. If I find that one of my presentation
becomes part of Jim-Bob's Oracle Consulting Training classes, we are going
to have to have a talk about fair use. Even if they preserve my copyright
and/or attribution, they are using it for material gain. Since Oracle
charges for support and access to Metalink, there may be a case. If they had
posted it to OTN or Oracle Mag, which is free to use, it is another story.

 ma, I just wrote this great play called 'Romeo and Juliet'). If Oracle had
 placed a copyright notice or attibution for Jared, I think they are okay,
 but they are passing the script as one of their own.

 On the non-legal side, to me there is a big difference between being used
by
 a corporation and used by an individual or other. Any/all of my
 scripts/documents on my website are available for use by anyone who so
 desires for their personal use. If I find that one of my presentation
 becomes part of Jim-Bob's Oracle Consulting Training classes, we are going
 to have to have a talk about fair use. Even if they preserve my copyright
 and/or attribution, they are using it for material gain. Since Oracle
 charges for support and access to Metalink, there may be a case. If they
had
 posted it to OTN or Oracle Mag, which is free to use, it is another story.

 Go Get 'Em Jared!

 Dick,

 the difference is that Oracle is a corporation that is making money on
 someone else's work.  they are quick to hammer the people we work for over
 license issues and, in this case, use someone elses work as a part of
their
 software suite.

 it's not right.

 Jared,

 Should you be irritated?  I've had some of the things I published on
the
 list put out as gospel elsewhere with my name attached  it's been a real
 pain
 in the ^^$.  I don't know.  I think I'd feel flattered and relieved that
no
 one
 knows where it came from.

 Not interested in compensation.  Just a litte irritated that
 the only change to the script was to remove my name.

  Compensation isn't likely. Credit is definitely due and should be
  given.

   You should feel upset as well as flattered. In my view you have a
   strong
   case against Oracle for some form of compensation, as a minimum you
   should
   be credited in the article.
   Whether you can win against a  big corporation is another matter of
   course.
   I and many others can confirm that the document has been on your site
   for at
   least 3 - 4 years (although they state the article to be originally
   dated
   1998).
  
   I would certainly be in contact with Oracle about this. Perhaps a
   good
   starting point would be your sales rep or contact at wherever you are
   working now.

   Dear list,
  
   I found something rather interesting on MetaLink today.
  
   While doing a little research on UTL_FILE, I came across
   document # 1050919.6.  This document deals with how to
   dump a table to an ascii file.

Subject: Interesting article from a canadian newspaper


   This is from a Canadian newspaper and IS worth
sharing...

   America: The Good Neighbor.

   Widespread but only partial news coverage was
given recently to a remarkable editorial broadcast
from
   Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian
television commentator. What follows is the full
text of his
   broadcast.
   This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for
the Americans as the most generous and possibly
the
   least appreciated people on all the earth.

   Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain
and Italy were lifted out of the debris of war by
the
   Americans who poured in billions of dollars and
forgave other billions in debts. None of these
countries
   is today
   paying even the interest on its remaining debts
to the United States. When France was in danger of

   collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who
propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted
and
   swindled on the
   streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it. When
earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the United
States that
   hurries in to help. This spring, 59 American
communities were flattened by tornadoes. Nobody
helped.

   The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped
billions of dollars into discouraged countries.
Now
   newspapers in those countries are writing about
the decadent, warmongering Americans. I'd like to
see
   just one of those countries that is gloating
over the erosion of the United States dollar build
its own
   airplane. Does any other country in the world
have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the
Lockheed
   Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If so, why don't
they fly them? Why do all the International lines
except
   Russia fly American Planes? Why does no other
land on earth even consider putting a man or woman

   on the moon? You talk about Japanese
technocracy, and you get radios. You talk about
German
   technocracy, and you get automobiles.
   You talk about American technocracy, and you
find men on the moon - not once, but several times
-
   and safely home again.

   You talk about scandals, and the Americans put
theirs right in the store window for everybody to
look
   at. Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued and
hounded. They are here on our streets, and most of

   them, unless they
   are breaking Canadian laws, are getting American
dollars from ma and pa at home to spend here. When

   the railways of France, Germany and India were
breaking down through age, it was the Americans
who
   rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and
the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned
   them an old caboose. Both are still broke.

   I can name you 5000 times when the Americans
raced to the help of other people in trouble. Can
you
   name me even one time when someone else raced to
the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was
   outside help even
   during the San Francisco earthquake. Our
neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one
Canadian who is
   damned tired of hearing them get kicked around.
They will come out of this thing with their flag
high.
   And when they do, they are entitled to thumb
their nose at the lands that are gloating over
their present
   troubles. I hope Canada is not one of those.

doesnt look too promising for RH to "certify" oracle running 
on it.

Such is the life of a hacker(in the good way, not a cracker), 
making stuff run on unsupported platforms :)

Is 
there any reason for "more" open source db ware? Why not
perk
