Dunno about Oracle. My boss just writes pass-through queries on MS SQL Server Mgmt Studio in order to query stuff in Oracle.

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

Though I was in the tech thread here for a second!
Hi. I have been surgeried. Gave me the worst migraine ever. Went to bed when I got home, with a second dose of migraine meds, didn't get up for many hours. (No idea what time I got home, since I was in no shape to look at a clock).
This morning I can see!!!! I mean, it's still all a bit weird and tweaked and my eyes still kinda hurt (both in the spots they did things to but also the whole eyeball--apparently it's a pressure thing). And I could pass a drivers test today--20/40 in one eye (20/70 in the other but). Which makes me very frightened of everyone on the road!!

If you saw the Golden Globes, you likely saw Rudd's teleprompter mishap. he discusses it here:
he sounds like a person I'd like to have a beer with.

You know, in case you were curious.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Wow, meara, that's great! So will your vision continue to improve as the lenses normalize?
Sometimes I miss SQL. But not enough to, you know, independently do anything with it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, meara! (Like Liese said...) That's really cool.

Meara, congrats on the sight! Sorry about the migraine...

I like SQL a lot, but my boss is better at it than I am. So he does most of the SQL stuff and I mostly do interface stuff (HTML or MS Access).
I've been fascinated by databases since '91, when I used a flat-file database and was amazed that I could search a 30 MB database (on an indexed field) in a fraction of a second on an old Zeos 286.

Yep, vision should keep getting better. Might not make it to 20/20 in the bad eye, but should get close. Since surgery was less than 24 hours ago, it's pretty awesome!
