he may be writing client software on Windows
Conceivably, but the thing is, he gave absolutely no indication that
he's on Windows. (If he had, I would have been less likely to make
such a potentially inflammatory remark, however true it is.) The
other poster just guessed it out of
thin air, perhaps because it's a subject he knows something
about. Then a whole subthread developed about that and dominated the
discussion. But it probably has nothing at all to do with the
original question. Granted, it's hard to be really sure, because the
original question is pretty vague. But all else being equal, if the
question is about Oracle, I would tend *not* to assume Windows.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
