The system is highly tuned and we feel pretty comfortable it is not a "bad design". The same group of folks have been working on the system for several years, they have lots of experience and the system is smoking fast when it's tuned. We support hundreds of users, some very large batch jobs...

I knew somebody might have some ideas...thanks for taking the time to reply. The process runs really well (fast) when the tables have data in them and the analyze is fresh. We have done lots of tunning on the processes, schema and sql. It is screaming fast when it is running well. On the...

Appreciate the response. After spending a ton of time on the Tom Kyte website (asktom), I finally found the answer: "automatic dependency tracking" Just for completeness, and to make it easier for anybody that finds this via a search engine, here's a quick brain dump of what I've learned...

Right now it's about 25 miles each way. Through town. Lots of 35mph, but moving most of the time with the occasional stop light. Takes about 45 mins in the morning, 60 mins at night. I normally work 7am - 4pm or so. I don't smoke in the truck, so it's iPod time for me. Driving a F150, so...

I know it's kind of long-shot posting here, but hey, you guys know everything right? I mean, as a community, we're a cigar-smoking version of Google! I've been trying to find this out for a couple of days now and haven't been able to figure it out. It is very Oracle-database-specific. (you've...

Hey, a girl posted in my thread.

Hey, no kidding. My son brings in the mail and I spot the box right away. Them newbies are getting plenty smart! This time only a bogus return address. I opened the box carefully (I've sent a few special bombs and you never know what's going to show up in the mail) and a bag of cigars...

If you end up taking them for a while, you'll also notice another side effect. I suggest adding lots of bran to your diet.

Earlier this year, St Pete Beach Florida. A hotel, bagged for termites, with the "No Vacancy" sign lit up.

The last time I dropped a tree, it fell exactly 180 from where I planned it to fall. Nobody got hurt, but I got to talk to my insurance agent a couple of times and we both met with my neighbor, who being the man he was, still talked to me and bought my kids fireworks until the day he died...

For our last couple appliance purchases, we've shopped at Sears. Not even the "good" mall Sears, I'm talking about the Scratch-n-Dent Outlet Sears. They have a ton of inventory, a lot of it with dents/scratches on the side or in the back. We have managed to get some real nice stuff for a good...

Twinkies and rum.

If you look in the salad dressing/mayo section of your grocery store, they sell a "slaw dressing" made my Marzetti. For a quick and easy "homemade" slaw: shred 1 head of cabbage shred 2-3 carrots (until you like the color mix) 1 tsp celery seed 2/3 - 3/4 of the jar of slaw dressing (more/less...

There is quite a bit of room in the "sport bike" category for specific types of riding. I have owned several big street bikes in the sport bike category. They were all a blast to ride in their element. Generally, the bigger bikes (1000cc+) are a fun way to burn a Sunday morning, but can be...

Very cool. Sounds like a great time. Hope everything goes smoothly.... For comparison, my wife and I lived together for a year and were married 3 weeks after I popped the question! We got married at our place, some folks came over, we had the ceremony and a party, I kicked the hangers-on out...

My wife and I went through something similar a couple of years ago. We cruised the gun shops...me picking out 45 and 10mm autos, she picking out the 32 snubbies. We settled on a large frame, double-action, 357 revolver (Ruger GP100) with a 4 inch barrel. Her choice. Here's how we...

When I was a kid, our neighbor's cat took a whiz in one of our cars that was parked in out garage. Fortunately it was a convertible, but it was almost unbearable with the top up....even after a year two you could still smell it on a hot day.

Deck up and flat? Level? Stable? Still have all your fingers? Then I'm calling it a SUCESS! Hope you enjoy it, Andy. Sounds like a great place to sit and watch the world go by.

Jim, Happy Birthday to ya! Hope it's a great one!
