@Bawo
You be certified dundee! Was Devin not a starter when we got to the Finals? We hoped he would become the next Nash but when later draftees like CP3 and Deron came along we knew better. Harris has not exactly set Jersey city on fire has he?
Steph Curry & Tyreke Evans would only make the all stars when their teams stop losing 45 or more games per season

Of course Derrick Rose would get minutes with the Bulls.hit. Even a trained orangutan would get minutes from such a useless franchise

Dirk dragged his team to the Finals! I am sure in Bawo's simple minded world Robert Horry with 7 rings is better than Reggie Miller,Shawn Kemp,Karl Malone,John Stockton and Charles Barkley with 0 rings

Who lip locks with another grown man in public? They even had the nerve to tell us it was a father and son kiss! If ma dad ever kissed me like that i go break bottle for im head. He even has Weezy's tattoos too and thats another red flag a dude with too many tattoo's and piercings puts ma Gaydar on red alert

If you think SQL is frustrating then i pray you never come across Java

No try the girl oh she can even check the archivelog status of a DB

To take baseline backups is pretty simple

RMAN> backup Incremental level 0
as compressed backupset database;

RMAN> backup Incremental level 1
as compressed backupset database;

I think Azum has pretty much explained when to use those backup strategies
By the way how far have u gone with RMAN? Can you point to your target DB or create a recovery catalog? I hope you are not skipping steps oh

Fire burn the battyboi! All this grammar just to tell us he is gay? I still like his music though

Really though i don't get it if i was Ricky Martin i woulda shagged all the women under 45 in Puerto Rico

Barca are very beatable and these are A-40's keys to victory

1. A good start (We don't necessarily need to score in the first twenty minutes but we must not i repeat must not concede first)
2. Own that midfield (Its hard but not impossible! Diaby is the key here if he can win the battle against Yaya T life would be much easier for Cesc and harder for Xavi)
3. Take shots from outside (Valdes may not be as calamitous as he used to but he still has it in him)
4. Take your chances (This is ma biggest worry! There are certain misses you feel only Arsenal can miss. Its almost like we train for them)
5. Maximum concentration and minimal concession of fouls in vital areas (With tricky players all around the Barca team they are a set piece waiting to happen and with players like Henry,Zlatan,Puyol and Pique there is bound to be trouble)
7. Almunia spare us the B.S please
8. Arshavin must bring his A-game (Barca's full backs cannot hold him if he decides to play)
9. Don't man mark or focus just on Messi! (Utd tried that and paid dearly)
10. Keep it tight at the end (Of course this depends on the scoreline at the time)

80-90% compliance would see us in good stead for the return leg at Camp Nou

@Bawo
You are not smarter than a 5th grader! Neither Tyreke Evans nor Brandon Jennings would start at the Mavs. Who are these other losers you keep mentioning? Thornton,Flynn. Curry ko Thyme ni what is the record of their teams? You no even mention Ty Lawson or Dejuan Blair.

Jerk Hinrich? What is he good at besides beating up refs?

What where those correct guards doing when the Bulls.hit where on a ten game losing streak. Alainitiju ni e

@Jesoul
Its not a far fetched statement! Tyreke Evans & Brandon Jennings would not be the focal point of an offense with O.G's like Nowitzki,Terry Marion or Caron Butler. The only major edge Barea has over Roddy Buckets is his passing. Finish

@Na2day
Did you know Bawo means simpleton in Xhosa? Just leave am make e dey analyze ball like caveman

As for Barea vs Roddy although he is clearly more experienced and can do a good job on smaller guards like Parker, Chauncey Billups would eat him raw! Besides i have been following the dude's game and he is more of a two-guard than a point plus Roddy is more athletic and has a significant height advantage lets not even talk about the shooting that one na blowout and to be honest Roddy as a rookie was way better! J.J is a better passer sha

Lets go Mavs the Thuggets must lose 2nite

@Na2day
I don't understand his love affair with J.J Barea! He must be supplying Carlisle with some Puerto Rican mamichulas! They say he looks like Jim Carrey must he behave like him too? If only he got more playing time he woulda been competing with Tyreke Evans and Brandon Jennings for R.O.Y

Barea is a weaker shooter,less athletic and way too under-sized to guard a Roy,Williams or Billups he is a decent player but Roddy B should be getting more minutes

We are the best free throw shooting team in the league and yet Carlisle allows us settle for jumpers

@Bawomolo
He is better than Jerk Hinrich and Luol Dung and by the way the Chicago Bulls.hit ain't making the playoffs! Gba be ski! I said it!

@A-40. I already replied.
My bad. I saw that my previous post got swallowed by the useless spambot on this site

azum:
@A-40,

Sorry abeg. must have somehow overlooked your last post.
On SAP, i administer the oracle database hosting the application. Do know my way around the application though. I am however not a SAP functional person. I do have some materials on SAP though but from an Oracle DBA point of view. Let me know what type of materials you really need and i will see if i have it.
To be an Oracle DBA, a lot of personal development is required. Working on windows may not be enough on the long run though a very good point to start. You will need to have hands on practice on the other operating systems such as unix and linux. And with the advent of VMware, you can easily install these to seat on your laptop for practice purposes. And i do hope you belong to Oracle Technology network. But believe me, being an Oracle DBA is very exciting, its more than a meal ticket.
Knowing PLSQL and SQL is very good, but the emphasis on it here is misplaced. Look being an Oracle DBA is far more than knowing PLSQL or SQL. As a DBA, except you're a Development DBA, you hardly get to put to use whatever knowledge you have of this. Its over 7 years know that i wrote a PLSQL procedure or what have you. At a stage as a DBA it becomes very irrelevant to you. You get involved in sepcialities such as DG, RAC, ASM, OEM GC, Streams, Replication, RMAN, DR etc that hardly require little or no PLSQL or SQL.
On RAC, if you do have any questions or issues, dont hesitate to ask and i will definitely share whatever knowledge i have with you or anyone.
Once again i apologies for not replying early.
Do you have the modules on Materials Management, HR, Production Planning and anything on ABAP or Netweaver?? If you got any material on that stuff i would appreciate it. I guess the nature of your job gets you working mostly on the database server

To be honest i have only ever worked on Linux and don't know too much about working with other OS. As for the OTN i joined after i got my OCA in 08 but it was always tough combining school with Oracle since what i studied was slightly different. I know Oracle is a definite meal ticket which is why i am going full-throttle with it now since there is no more school work to worry about


As for the PL/SQL debate you do know that a lot of Oracle utilities (DG,OEM,Schedulers e.t.c) are run on PL/SQL and SQL and if you are not on an EM environment you might need to make use of some of it a lot more often. While you don't necessarily need to be a guru at it i dont advice one should suck at it either. Its a very useful tool in my opinion especially when you want to make use of DD views and DP views. But hey you are the expert here i am just giving my two cents on the matter

I would definitely get back to you if and when i get stuck on the RAC topic

dominique:
thanks for the warm welcome.
i didn't find easy when i started the course (since i don't have much of an IT background). fouund it very challenging especially the SQL part. but so far i'm enjoying the challenge. i can now start up an instance (duh!!!), configure a listener, create a database using the DBCA. i can pretty much do anything on the enterprise manager but i'm still trying to figure out the back up and recovery procedures.
i'm so happy i found this thread (cos i hardly come here), you guys are doing a fantastic job.
Its nothing Ma'am. Tell me about it very few people found it easy i did find SQL easy sha. Hehehe my niece that just turned 1 yesterday can startup an instance grin grin
As a starter i think you should leave Enterprise Manager for a bit and work more with SQL Plus. Enterprise Manager could make you a very lazy DBA so try and spend more time on SQL Plus. As for backups and recovery leave that for your OCP just try and grasp the basics first and don't run before you walk

Lol drop the rappers names mehn. E ni to ba wu ko be

Its not even the effortlessness that trips me alone its the consistency too. When he retired he dropped more verses than people still in the game. He just spits that street smart $hit you can't get in class plus he's extremely intelligent as in applied knowledge not stuff you just cram in school and drop it in verses and not make sense. Its almost illegal for a rapper to be that intellectual with his music and how he manages his stuff

The assignment no hard just listen closely. It wasn't hard for me cos when the album came out i was just done with hi school and i musta bumped it till my discman lens convulsed

Its actually is a great song but there where a lot of better ones hell i even forgot 'Public Service Announcement' The Black Album was a classic i dunno about you but i've noticed most of Jay's really good albums have little or no guest appearances

I woulda agreed with you that 99 problems and Allure was better if 'What more can i say' did not have a third verse

'Now you know your a$$ is willy
When they got you in the mag for like half a billie
And your a$$ ain't lily white
Then that means that $hit you right must be illie'

Jigga is such a Wordsmith! When it comes to Quotables, Wordplay i don't think any living rapper can cope with him

You would notice there are no Fi Fa Fo Fum and ba-leed rhymes and multies like the dumbed down stuff Em is giving us on that entire third verse. I think he clearly stated why he should be Number 1 on everybody's list lets see what happens when he no longer exists

Do we then assume Wenger has been taking us on a ride all this time? Wenger phocked up to an extent today with his tactics but our players messed up too! We didn't kill the game when we had the chance and we didn't practice gamesmanship either by making injury time subs or just hugging the ball at the opponents area. We can be annoyingly tactically naive sometimes
