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. Ditto. That's what I have seen in the industry. 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. That was very funny. You must have been in this industry too long (at least little longer than me). Ever since Oracle founded the company they tried to redefine the 'database'. 'Database' has been around 50 years before Oracle was founded. It seems they are trying to reinvent the English language with some twisted grammar and spelling and forcing rest of the world to live with that. I have no problem with that because the industry has already taken the Oracle plunge. The funniest thing is that after beating up small competitors in the database sector(that includes MSFT) with some funny marketing Oracle thinks that they can fool the software industry with their feeble attempt to venture into Enterprise business. Look no further, just see what they did with NC.
