Hi again,
an important role between mangament and the coder ist the project leader. He has to load balance/filter the demands of business with resources available in the dev team.

Karl

If somebody wants to have the work done in one week and i really estimate 2 weeks i would contact him telling why i would need more time.

Karl

So what i want to say is good code is not a question of timing at first. The coding mind is the biggest factor for coding quality.
Karl

Good software developers make good code in good time.
Extraordinary Software developers make excellent code even in bad timing.
Greetings
Karl
PS.: i never let quality fall down even the time was running.
At the end i was always faster as the guys from the quick and dirty community.

Hi!
building new 10.2 instance is saw other pragmas srcolling on my console ...
* building the standard package the BUILTIN Pragma :

<pre>create or replace
2 package STANDARD ...
function "EXISTS" return BOOLEAN;
235 pragma BUILTIN('EXISTS',10,240,240); -- This is special cased in PH2 -- Pj</pre>

the FIPSFLAG Pragma ...

<pre>function SQLERRM (code PLS_INTEGER) return varchar2;
294 pragma BUILTIN('SQLERRM',46, 10, 1); -- PEMS_DB, DB_SQLERRM
295 pragma FIPSFLAG('SQLERRM', 1452);</pre>

the INTERFACE Pragma ...

<pre>2734 --#### All user-visible declarations should preceed this point. The
2735 --#### following are implementation-oriented pragmas that may need
2736 --#### editing in the future; we would prefer to be able to edit them
2737 --#### without affecting the rft numbering of user-visible items.
2738
2739 --#### interface pragmas
2740
2741 --#### Note that for any ICD which maps directly to a PVM
2742 --#### Opcode MUST be mapped to pes_dummy.
2743 --#### An ICD which invokes another ICD by flipping operands is
2744 --#### mapped to pes_flip, and an ICD whose result is the inverse of
2745 --#### another ICD is mapped to pes_invert
2746 --#### New ICDs should be placed at the end of this list, and a
2747 --#### corresponding entry must be made in the ICD table in pdz7
2748
2749 PRAGMA interface(c,length,"pes_dummy",1);
2750 PRAGMA interface(c,substr,"pes_dummy",1);
2751 PRAGMA interface(c,instr,"pesist",1);
2752 PRAGMA interface(c,UPPER,"pesupp",1);
2753 PRAGMA interface(c,LOWER,"peslow",1);</pre>

Do not know what they mean and if thy can be used in user pl/sql Code.

Hi, some link : http://www.storyal.de/story2004/energie.htm</p>

Look for 'Erdöl - Förderung und - Verbrauch'
which means gas production and consuming
Greetings
Karl

Karl, in Europe, you like small, mini cars ...
Yes our cars are a lot smaller and the distances are too. But the effect of increasing gas prices in spring is a global effect caused by ...

I wonder that DIESEL motors are not liked in U.S.A, with big trucks you can save a lot using DIESEL GAS instead of the normal gas.
My car is not mini!
it has more inner room then a GRAND CHEROKEE Jeep (my secret dream car) both for persons and baggage;

Karl

Hi,
more important is the question what car your drive. An American neighbor leaving Germany has now bought a truck. I think this thing will use about 15-20 liters /100 km!
Mine needs only 6.5 liters!

The reason why the oil prices is rising at spring is that many many Americans tend to make weekend trips into the impressing nature.
Then is not enough oil in U.S.A and must be bought in Amsterdam causing higher prices.
Poor Europeans have to pay the price :-) ;-)
Karl
from old Europe
PS.: If all americans would do their trip with my very nice VW Touran (http://touran.volkswagen.de/) then Oil prices would fall into basement. ;-)

Now i wait for an article about the spivns() undocumented oracle function. It starts a space invaders clone. And guess the unlimited dbms_output buffering introduced in 10.2 was the base for it!
;-)
Karl

very interesting Eddie!
Karl

Thanks!
Karl

Great Work Eddie!
Your combination of Web/Oracle Skills is very usefull for the oracle community
Karl

Hi
i do not believe these are spam mails.
The first mail could be a true one because not many oracle technologist are as internet based as we are. For example in germany i do know only a couple of oracle bloggers 2 or 3!
But the oracle community is very large there.

The second mail could be a true one too. I am not sure if a vietnames oracle technologist has the possiblilties to download software made in america if he has no metalink access.

Hi Eddie,
i (still) cannot believe it!
first i thought it would be a late April issue!
Karl

Hi,
on my corporate laptop i sweared no native db install on it! i wanted to keep my system 'clean'; So whenever a database runs it runs under VMware on Linux/Win2003;
But with XE i changed that.
Some small installation steps - no db control - simply easy.
XE covers allmost all important aspects of the 10G. Thats great!!

Karl

@Robert
I aggree with Eddie,
working for example in the Oracle Perfomance Forum is very different to blogging. For your blog you have all the opportunites to design/create Content. You even could write some university level stuff if somedbodey is interested. A forum always is targeted to the special need of the forum, nothing else.
But as you said there could be a forum burnout and a blog burnout which results in low or none activity.

So, from the above, I understand that SAP does not own MaxDB.

Hi Eddie, MAxDB was delivered by SAP. It is nothing else then an ADABAS D database released to open sopurce. SAP decided to do so because the supporting Community for ADABAS D was very small compared to MySql.

Greetings
Karl

Hi,
SAP alrady had an own database : ADBAS D which is alled now MAX DB. IBMS DB2 is shipped with SAP without inital fee. So SAP fights to get more independent from Oracle. And you could think about SAP what you want (to large, to expensive, too complex) it's the leader in it's area and Oracle still has nothing equal.

Personnaly the investment in database technology is a solid base. The technology does not change every 2 years.

Last but not least -
i am learning to concentrate;
With family you do not have a lot time surfing/reading aswering blog, writing own blogs;
I must know what i really targets and priorities are.
That's what i learned

Karl

Hi Eddie,
first i was schocked because of you new design. The first time i connected to your site i thought my browser
is damaged for some reason! :-) The warm yellow is gone the - style is very different.
But it's ok!

Now to the burnout :
From the Start of my blog activites i was not able to post an article every day.
I got a little bit stressed because of the other bloggers and their frequency.

I must admit that to be noticed by Oracle Community is very important for me and so i invested a lot of time to post some stuff.
Now i moved to antother concept. Due to Wordpress 2.0 and support of stastic pages my content i want to build is more then a library then news oriented blog. And i like this too.
To avoid some stress to get notifed and be seen by the rest of the blogging oracle community
i will not add my blog in future to blog lists.

What not changed is the fascination of www based publishing
Greetings
Karl
