What you say isn't "exactly" what you mean



This is real. This cake was picked up after a call in order was made to a bakery to order a cake for a going away party (changing jobs). But, what the heck is "Under Neat That"?

OK, so this is how I imagine this conversation went:

Bakery Employee: 'Hello, how can I help you?'

Customer: ' I would like to order a cake for a going away party this week.'

Bakery Employee: 'What do you want on the cake?'

Customer: 'Best Wishes Suzanne' and underneath that 'We will miss you'.


You just have to laugh!

(By the way...a friend sent this to me so it may or may not be "real", but the thought is funny anyway!)

A buddy of mine in the Army wanted to have his saber engraved. He took a friends saber to so the engraver how he wanted it to look, and the engraver did just that. Even copying his friend's name on his saber! DUH!

@Karen,

I have one query regarding parallel execution.
I have seen one of your post related to parallel execution of queries involving unions.

My question is

If you have query somthing like this

# select appln_jrnl_id, sum(payment_count) from fihub.tbl_voucher_acct_line d
# where appln_jrnl_id = 'AP_PAYMENT'
# and fiscal_year_num = 2008
# and acct_period_cd = 5
# group by appln_jrnl_id
# union
# select 'AP_PAYMENT', sum(payment_count) from fihub.tbl_voucher_acct_line d
# where appln_jrnl_id = 'AP_PAYMENT'
# and fiscal_year_num = 2008
# and acct_period_cd = 5;

How you will make this query to work in parellel mode?

Do you prefer me to include parallel hint in that Query?
If so, union queries may have different tables lists in the from clauses right?

Please throw some light on this!!

Arun - This seems like an odd place to put this question, so I'm just going to make a separate blog post to address it. Thanks, Karen
