Sometimes Java people (who do the pretty websites, as well as the ‘ugly bits’) and Oracle people (who hang round in server rooms storing the data) exist on two paralell worlds. The normal conversation goes like this:
Java Person
Where do I get the information from?
Oracle Person
That Table there.
Java Person
Thanks
And that’s it , until the next month or so. And that’s before we get into words such as ADF , Oracle Forms, Fusion , 10g or OAS, all of which appear on a regular basis on JobServe, but to most Java people may as well be an exotic plant just discovered in the Jungles of Indonesia.
The solution? Ask Tom. More Oracle stuff than our caffine-addled little brains can handle.
Tom Kyte (the Tom above that works for Oracle) , also has his own blog for Oracle related stuff.
