RE: comp.oracle.databases.server vs ORACLE-L: deathmatch

2001-05-14 Thread Boivin, Patrice J

Funny, the threads on my MS Outlook at home never show up as threads... I
end up with little entries all over the place.  Might as well rely on
e-mail.

The volume on the newsgroup is much higher, but perhaps as a result there is
a LOT of junk going through there, a lot of spam.  Some of it is offensive,
nobody seems to be moderating that newsgroup at all.  The listserv doesn't
have that problem, the last time someone sent job offers to the members of
this list, the sender received phone calls, and a flurry of e-mails to tell
him to cease and desist.  On the newsgroup I haven't seen it happen.  Maybe
if the spam was removed from the newsgroup, I would spend more time reading
its threads.

The threads also seem to cover a broader range of topics than this listserv
does.  I prefer this list because I do database admin, and although I
subscribed to the ODTUG listserv for developers, I like to keep the two
areas separate (DBA and development).

Once in a while in the evening I access the newsgroup to see what is going
on there, but often I end up sifting through hundreds of entries, deleting
80% of them or more.

I agree that there are knowledgeable people on the newsgroup as well.  

I prefer this listserv.

I have to say that the newsgroup comp.oracle.databases.server is
much
more NT Friendly.

Not just Jonathan Lewis, but Sybrand Baker, Howard Rodgers, Ricky

I'd post to the ORACLE-L from work - but its a long story.
Basically, I'm subscribed at work in DIGEST mode, but I can't get

So I post when I get home from the home mail account that I can't

Yes, most of the newsgroup is junk, but lately, I'd say that the

Best thing is - its threaded. Email just plain sucks. Threading
rules
(not in an OS - just in messages).

and there's (practically) no lag.

So in a deathmatch, the interested newsgroup readers/posters would

If you installed the Oracle Administration Assistant for Windows NT,
there is a panel that contains a radio button as to selecting the
shutdown mode ('normal','immediate','abort').

to access it select:

Start - Programs - Oracle-Ora81 - Database Administration - Oracle
Administration Assistant for Windows NT

under the 'Databases' node, right click on the particular database
and
select startup shutdown options
in the Oracle Instance panel, you have a checkbox for Shut down
instance when service is stopped
under that is the radio button set for the shutdown options.

click ok - and close the MMC console.

If you are running W2K server or Pro - MMC is included.
If you are running NT4 - you need to have installed the MMC for the
Oracle Admin Asst plug-in.

I just tried c.d.o.* (example news:comp.databases.oracle.server )
with Netscape 4.75, and threading works fine as far as I can tell.

Based on what is stored of those newsgroups here (only goes back 
about 1 or 2 weeks), I didn't see any huge amount of spam.

2001-05-10 Thread Boivin, Patrice J

I go back to the newsgroup once every 2 to 6 months, just to see what the
topics tend to be there.

I don't follow it, because this listserv during the day is enough I think.

On the newsgroup the volume is such that I spend over an hour just deleting
pieces of threads... that's another problem, my MS Outlook at home doesn't
bundle threads, the entries are all broken up into separate entries.  A real
nuisance.

The newsgroup is easy for people to find - a lot of people will head for the
newsgroups first when they have a question.  To reach this listserv, you
almost need to know where to find it first, which means that the people on
this list tend to stay for longer periods of time, and people don't dart in
and out as much as on the newsgroup.

Paul,

I haven't look at newsgroup c.o.d.s. for a long time, basically 
because I got out of the habit of looking at newsgroups, the 
messaging formatting and software needed seems a little unnatural 
(convoluted) compared to email. But, I'll admit to laziness. I have 
enough on my hands just trying to read all the Oracle-NT 
documentation. :)

Anyway, why wait for IOUG to start a ORACLE-NT-L?

As far as technical issues goes, it could easily be done on yahoo 
groups (formerly egroups.com) or some similar free site (e.g., 
http://www.escribe.com/ ???), or fatcity (which I know you feel is a 
bit unreliable/unperformant). I know that Jared felt uncomfortable 
with the old eGroups.com TOS (terms of service), and after I read 
them, I also felt that some of the vague/legalistic terminology 
sounded like it might be funny. For instance, pat of the 
eGroups.com TOS sounds like it is saying that they have rights to 
claim ownership of the content of all material posted, etc. I don't 
know if Jared had other concerns than privacy ones.

As far as the Culture of any Oracle-NT-L, I can see the possible 
advantage of having some weighty expert personalities involved. The 
culture, and therefore utility, of an email list community is 
almost always enhanced when the list is created with a good core
