Oracle will consult if you either pressure or pay them enough.

I can tune anything, bitches.

Sign up for classes when we're not working. That usually means night classes.

The growth of online education will really help to improve the ability to school/train for folks who work.

It doesn't work that way in education currently. When a three-day Criminal Justice symposium is offered June 23rd to June 25th in Washington D.C. and it's the only one in the country this year that will qualify for maintaining our accreditation, then on those days that's where the faculty are going to be. There's not a lot of choice involved. Some programs have more options, but many don't.

I get the feeling they took our money and ran.

I may take you up on that. The problem is allegedly (not according to me) "intractable." It isn't a big enough problem (yet) for them to break out the big wallet, but it's enough that we hate it.

If parents want their kids to do well in school, they will make sure it happens. Single parent homes where the parent is too busy to pay attention, dual parent homes where both parents work and they are too busy to pay attention, inner city homes where the several kids don't know where their plethora of fathers are with a mother who doesn't give a shit, etc etc.

People* have been told they can do it all, alone, for a long time now, people have been told they need to live a lifestyle requiring both adults in the house work, but nobody has looked at how the kids suffer for it.

But we're seeing it now. You better check your white privilege and micro-aggressions.

* - I say "people" but I really mean women. They are told they can have a career and a family, alone, that's why god invented daycare for the 10 hours a day the mom is at work. Who gives a fuck if the kid grows up fucked up, mom needs to be empowered.

I don't think that's the most well written argument, and comes off as mildly misogynistic, but you are dead on.

"Women would not be hated so much if they weren't so easy to hate."

But seriously, I am not a misogynist... but I do think the feminist movement has caused more harm than good, overall. I am a misofeminist. Or whatever that word would be.

Well, let me know. I do database consulting on the side for a few companies (a multi-billion dollar hedge fund - Oracle DB; a large investor-owned utility that is Oracle; 2 other clients that are SQL Server), and my day job is database architect for DBs that are up to 20-30TB on a single instance. So I've got a pretty decent handle on performance tuning from query rewriting to SPs to schema redesign to physical architecture (file locations, partitioning, RAM, etc).

We supposedly have a legion of Oracle guru support techies. Who also couldn't solve the issue. In addition, our code might make your eyes bleed and brain die.
