  1. A little tip goes a long way. Put alias rm='rm -i' on .profile. Want to delete w/o prompting? Just use ''rm or \rm. alias will be skipped
  2. @SQLMaria when will we know the results of the #optimizerbumperstickers contest?
  3. RT @pavelxruzicka:"@arupnanda Listener.log => Prefer logrotate with copytruncate..compress" Absolutely, if you need to preserve the log.
  4. Don't confuse stats (v$sesstat) with waits (v$session_event) 4a session. Former: resource usage (eg CPU); latter: speed bumps (eg CBC latch)
  5. RT @jcnars: @arupnanda anybody know any tools/scripts out there to mine the listener log?" I have written a tool. bit.ly/KWvnVd
  6. @sjaffarhussain /cc @yvelikanov not for _10.2_ on HPUX; it doesn't.
  7. @yvelikanov Sorry; should have mentioned ... it's 10.2
  8. @yvelikanov it won't release the space. dd or redirect (">") will do that
  9. DBA 101: Always remember to clean up listener.log file using either dd or redirect command. rm -f when the listener is running won't work.
  10. RT "@yvelikanov: Working on my #C12LV best presenters blog post. Personal good presenters discovery list: @arupnanda ..." Thanks, Yury.
  11. RT "@BarbaraCorcoran: Retweet if you think I'm a cougar! #SharkTank" No, I think you are "yet" to be one?
  12. RT @ABCSharkTank: RT if you are watching #SharkTank right now!
  13. RT +1 @MSyrU18: @mcuban please keep doing #sharktank.
  14. RT "@SharkTankABC: Hey #sharktank fans! Who was your favorite contestant on tonight's episode?" Mine was @UniKeyTech
  15. @SharkTankABC It was an awesome finale for UniKey. Wow! No wonder @mcuban is as successful as he is ... the guy knows how to deal
  16. #SharkTank @SharkTankABC Wow! Great offer from @robertherjavec. I would take it now, before he changes his mind.
  17. Persoanlly, I don't trust proximity sensors on house keys ... too many bugs @SharkTankABC #SharkTank
  18. RT "@BarbaraCorcoran: Retweet if you think he will land a deal! #SharkTank" I think he will ... from @mcuban
  19. RT "@mcuban: Great idea. #sharktank" COST is the key
  20. @SharkTankABC what is there is a software bug that doesn't open the key?
