Computer geek poem

Who said computer geeks can't write love poems.....


(Title unknown)
===========

I LOVE YOU MORE THAN MY COMPUTER Believe me it is true …

You installed the best in me.

Your picture is always in my background.

You clicked my heart gently.

You drive me crazy when I see you.

Your love reset my life and deleted all the sadness in me.

You restored my kindness after I thought it was corrupted.

I’m always connected to you with more than 56 heart beat per second.

You hacked my brain and registered your name in it.

You are the only one that could navigate my feelings and explore my
emotions at the same time.

I feel lost when I try to call you and you are not responding.

I always feel you close to me when I shut down my eyes, or when I open
my windows waiting for you to pass.

You are the only one that can log into my heart and never log out.

I dream of being your only server as long as I live.

You don’t have to search for me, cause we are always linked to each
others.

I see your name everywhere, my front page, my homepage and all my
software.

I scanned my life and found that I’m only infected by you.

You are the virus I’d never remove, and why should I do?

Believe me it is true…

I love you more than my CPU!!!!

ORACLE & SQL

Oracle is one of the well know relational database management system (RDBMS) with amazing features to make a DBA's life easy. But when you are faced with an error its not easy. It's not that there are no solutions but its always irritating , because there will be thousands of answers to the problem and you will be lucky if one of them works for you.

In this few months that i have used oracle i have dealt with a lof of problems. In this series of articles regarding ORACLE i will try to give you solution on how to solve errors, plus on new features and tips on using ORACLE & SQL.

ERROR

ORA-0149:

When you try to create a table some times you will see this ORA-01429: Index-Organized Table: no data segment to store overflow row-pieces Table Created, this is mainly because in CREATE statement you forgot to define the overflow segment.

CREATE TABLE TABLE_NAME
(
……
……
……
)
ORGANIZATION
INDEX

ORA-01429: Index-Organized Table: no data segment to store overflow row-pieces Table Created

CREATE TABLE TABLE_NAME
(
……
……
……
)
ORGANIZATION
INDEX OVERFLOW

Table Created


you just need to define overflow segment, problem solved.

This is might be a simple problem but as i said before i will be posting more on oracle and sql so keep an eye. =ELK=
