But you look like some one just told you that the MIGHTY DUCKS beat the Senators.*** Smile, huh... But, right, "world class DBA's that don't need to be" DON'T SMILE. No self respecting DBA would allow himself to show that side to his users and developers, huh? Anyway, good going. Can you get us tickets to OpenWorld now?
