in thread DBD::Oracle faster with bound sql than stored procedures?

'++' x 1e6.

There is an annoying little phrase that crops up around here all to often in the context of anthropomorphising code, languages, idioms, documentation tools and particular pages of documentation: "XXX is your friend.".

As much as that phrase annoys me in most contexts I see it used, I'm gonna use it.

Befriend your local DBA, because if he's your friend, your life just got a whole lot easier.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
