Oracle has something to do with computers … SQL probably also … as to what they have to do with computers … shoot, I'm lucky I can do this

Hopefully, these young chaps will learn how not to blow up databases

Who am I kidding . . .they'll blow it up and find the fix to be exactly what I taught and they would say "I'll be damn, he wasn't bullE36 M3ting us . . ."

Congrats. Our company is supposed to be switching over to Oracle from our current software within the next year.

SQL is a database query language and Oracle is a digital black hole for money

you know how much of that statement I understand ?

well the black hole for money, I do. but probably in different way than you meant … I used to have Oracle in my stock portfolio … black hole indeed

data base query language ….. that is just a jumble of words to me …

It's going to be interesting, I haven't stood in front of class since 99 as a SME/point of authority. Since I work from home, it will be a nice change of pace.

In reply to GameboyRMH:

You got that right!!

I prefer Microsoft SQL . . . the other black hole for money.

Our company uses Oracle. I've been told that we are switching from it. For three years I've been told this. I don't think it's going to happen.

Have fun, being an adjunct is never boring. I find creating tests to be a very odd experience.

You'll need to log in to post.
