Has anyone installed Family Pack J yet? Is it a biggie and how long does it take to apply?

Col . .Please have a look at this metalink note for HRMS estimated Patch timings. .Doc ID: Note:221975.1 . .Oracle publishes timing figures (in minutes and seconds) that were achieved on an internal test system. However Oracle does guarantee that similar timings will be achieved on the customer system. . .Cheers .Vin

Apologies for the earlier post .Have just checked the above note. There is no entry for 3333633(Family Pack J). . .Have requested for info from Oracle.

How did you manage to get a DBA to talk? Or did they use sign language?

CB . .Normally the sign DBAs use is the same one as your current avatar . .L+K . .CT

I had to elicit a response from this DBA dude using Tadoma. .This is a form of communication where people will place their .hands on the speaker's lips or throat to feel the vibrations. .This method is quite rare and is used with DBA's who cannot .communicate by more traditional methods . .Honest no jokes...
