How true, how true! I hope whoever is concerned doesn't pull this stunt with a database containing corporate data, most ESPECIALLY FINANCIAL DATA. If the database gets corrupted and the financial analysts cannot make heads or tails with their data, then he might find himself OUT OF WORK sooner than he thinks, tattooed with a BAD REPUTATION for being a database admin. -- mikol _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
