   Same here.   I could not believe when only 6 Oracle folks showed up!   
   Fortunately, we quickly made up the numbers with the MSSQL guys who   
   apparently use a shirty product but know their RDBMS history better than   
   any others.

   That one.   
      
   And of course: Tom Kyte, who for quite a while ran a youTube channel   
   called "Oracle DBVision", totally oblivious (really?  right...) that is   
   the name of the company I founded in the end of 1989 and is still going.   
   A lot of bastards inside the Oracle group of "experts" have tried over   
   the years to snatch the name, without once acknowledging who invented   
   it. Just to piss them off, I'm keeping the company going even though I   
   don't do consulting anymore!  :)))   
      
   Hey, I can be a bastard as well and I don't even need to be an Ace!   
   Even though they invited me twice to become one and I flat refused.   
   )   
      
   Cheers
