I just got back and briefly scanned through some 200+ messages on the thread. It looks like I missed a couple of DBA's throwing punches at each other, but I can't muster up the will to sort through the "I tune better than you do" nonsense. If there was any real interesting technical stuff that got posted here over the past several days, would someone do me a favor and post a message number or two. I have a feeling, however, that I didn't miss much except the sound of my paper gains being flushed. I'm still very upbeat about Oracle 8i and Oracle Developer 6.0 (which is late) and WebDB (which I installed on my laptop on Thursday.

Things are starting to look like the Oracle roller coaster ride I used to enjoy in the late 80's - early 90's. Time to get ready to ride it up (and down?) again.

PS - In my humble opinion, tuning the SQL statements in an application is the responsibility of the application developer not the DBA. The DBA should insist that no application go into production until the SQL has been properly tuned.

PPS - I am not, and will never be a Certified Oracle anything. They have too many "correct" answers on the exams that are just plain wrong, and I can't see paying for the privilege of supplying the right answers and having them marked wrong.
