As a kid I used to pore over encyclopedias, dictionaries, and such. These days we have Google and Wikipedia and the like. I often still peruse a myriad of information sources related to Oracle Database technology as part of my role as a DBA. This blog will be a place to post some gems from of my research as well as an eclectic collection of whatever else I find interesting in this world.
Interestingly in preparing this post I came across the handy Google Search define: operator when reading Google Dictionary.
