Re: Converting Longs

2002-07-24 Thread Jared . Still

Depending on whether you wish to humiliate and demoralize
the duhveloper, or you think there may be hope and you wish
to educate him, one of the following may work.

1.  Show him the the sys.trigger$ table and point him at documentation
that will help him convert the WHENCLAUSE column to a CLOB

2.  Privately point out to him that this is part of the data dictionary, 
and that
making changes to this will likely cause him grief and anxiety such as
he has never known.

    Subject:    Converting Longs


Hello:
Since everyone has forwarded a comment about their war stories I would 
like
to offer up my Monday.
The a programmer on a client I am working at asked me to convert all of 
the
long data types since Oracle recommends that you do not use them.
Since we use no longs I asked what he was referring to.  He said please 
run
a DESC on ALL_TRIGGERS,  Then commented that I do not know my database.

ALTER SYSTEM DROP STUPID_USER user does not seem to be working in this
situation any ideas?

Jay,

Well since he says Oracle recommends not using Longs but Oracle itself uses Longs,  have the luser submit a TAR or give him Uncle Larry's email address. Should be good for a laugh or two.
