Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Hee. I wish we could put it to a vote. My boss is mad at her, too, but she strongly believes that things will work them selves out. On the other hand, I tend to be non-confrontational and just work around things. So not a good combo right now!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It won't work out. She will suck you dry. Cut her off now. End it, end it, end it.

And, no, I don't know where that is coming from, except my SQL query was bad and it's too late to fix the output dump before the vendor comes into town.

Oops.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

ita, what database server are you working with?

ita, may I suggest that you punch New Guy. It will make you feel better, just on principle.

It's actually a file dump (files referred to in the records) they made based on a query I wrote over a month ago. I fixed the query since then, but it took them a month to extract the files, so there's no way they can re-run their end in time. I'm hoping my initial query was sufficiently a superset (I could run the numbers and check, but I'm askeered, which means I'll do it tomorrow) to mean it won't be a big deal.

Goddamned parentheses and word wrap.

And, uh, me.

ita, may I suggest that you punch New Guy

Can I? Pretty please?

Oh, sorry. Details, details. Oracle 10g. Why?

Oracle 10g. Why?

Just curious. Our biggest client uses Oracle and MS SQL Server. All our stuff is on SQL Server, and the SQL Server database interfaces with Oracle.

My boss has been complaining for ages to our big client how much the stuff they write for Oracle sucks, so they finally gave him direct access to the Oracle server (so he can write queries directly) instead of them just giving us certain views.

My boss will say stuff like, "This Oracle query takes two hours to run. There's no way a query should take that long. I bet you I could write a query that does the same thing in three minutes."

I'm surprised they don't feel insulted by him sometimes. But he's usually right.
