  • RE: T-Sql rant

    [font="Verdana"]:blink:

    Last time I looked, the definition of a "constant" was something that was invariant.

    Tables vary.

    So, not constants.

    I agree with many of your (earlier) points about SQL as a language. ...

    Oracle is good about implementing new features and functionality really quickly... sometimes they even get their features out to market before the ISO standards updates are approved.

    Forget the Oracle version of this site -- I can think of dozens of people who could use this type of mythbusting information that visit this site. ...

  • RE: T-Sql rant

    [font="Verdana"]To be frank, in my experience the issues with cursor-based code in Oracle have been concealed by the huge overkill of hardware assigned to Oracle databases. The same database...

  • RE: T-Sql rant

    [font="Verdana"]I bet you hear that from Oracle developers who have never bothered to performance tune their code or bother to learn how to write set-based code.

    No. Oracle does not...

  • RE: T-Sql rant

    [font="Verdana"]It puzzles me as well, and I've commented earlier on that. "row-by-row" is just as agonising in Oracle as it is in SQL Server.

    Any design for a large system needs to be tuned for...

  • RE: table relationship

    [font="Verdana"]I agree with Flo.

    If you use generated keys (like the integer ID field) rather than "natural keys" or "business keys" (like the Code field), then you can save yourself a...

  • RE: SP

    [font="Verdana"]I remember that scatter-gather got added to Windows 2000 (?) via a service pack at some point, and there was a service pack of SQL Server that came along that...

  • RE: SP

    [font="Verdana"]You know Gail, I bet you're right!

    BTW, applying service packs to Oracle databases is far far more complex than applying service packs to SQL Server. So this explains the...

    I've never met Cardinal Reciprocity. Where does he stand in the hierarchy of the SQL Inquisition?
