    Documenting database

    I haven't asked a question in years, but here it goes. We have an Oracle financials database that is, let me tell you, so user unfriendly when it comes to table and field names, it is impossible to remember all the relationships. Whenever I am asked for a report out of this database, I have to...

    Kennedys

    Well, Ted Kennedy just died. (JFK's little brother.) I was wondering what the world (outside of the US, of course) thought of the Kennedys. What kind of reputation did they have in your eyes?

    Big Brother

    I know they have one in the UK. They have one here too. Anyone else besides me who hasn't missed a season? Or am I the only voyeur here?

    Why?

    I'm on the computer in my bedroom, barely aware of anything else that is happening in other parts of the house....but it slowly comes to my attention that ... from what I can hear.... my husband is bouncing a basketball in our kitchen. Why is he doing that? Yes, it IS raining outside...

    Reminiscing

    I was looking through some VERY old threads in the Watercooler and thought .... "Wow..... people who haven't been around that long should know that once upon a time, pretty much everyone got along swimmingly and we were all quite fond of each other. And, people who have been here a long time...

    What's your pleasure?

    Oh... while I'm here, who does merry old England want us to vote for in the next presidential election? Looks like we have a choice between Hillary, Obama and McCain so far. I could be wrong on the McCain vote, but the Democrats are still trying to decide between Clinton and OBama. Just...

    Most users ever online

    Wow.... What the heck happened on 3/11 at 7:59 pm? 687 users online at once? I know I wasn't one of them... (darn!) I guess it had something to do with people having to deal with daylight savings time. Either that or everyone had a brief moment of love and forbearance of one another's...

    Is it me? Or is it rude?

    I'm not a prude. Let me start out by saying that right up front. I think you (well, most of you) know me quite well enough that you know that is true. But, when a woman, or even several women, are in the company of men, talking, laughing, engaged in conversation with said men.... is it rude...

    Multiple field values need to be returned in ONE line

    I have no idea if this is possible or not. I have a requirement to pull a list of Doctor's, their address, and which counties they serve. Sounds fine, right? Well, they want all the counties on one line... One record for each unique address. So, my query would return this Dr...

    What did you do for your summer vacation?

    LOL... Summer isn't over, of course... it's just begun! But well, America can start out this topic by telling us what they did to celebrate the 4th of July. My plans: My best friend just closed on a new house, so we're taking an hour drive down to Northport to check it out and then we're...
