    Moving out east and sec. clerance

    My guess is only those that deal with defense/ intelligence communities. I would doubt that ones that work for agriculture, education, etc wuld have that requirement.

    How do I get a new job with no formal qualifications?

    MY brother-in-law was self taught. He got a job with an online company as a general telephone support person - no computer knowledge required. Then he started showing them what he knew about computers/software. He's now a senior tech advisor and has even written some of their manuals about...

    Moving out east and sec. clerance

    Sorry to tell you but I don't think getting a security clearance on your own is possible. Security clearances may take over a year to process and cost a company about $20,000. I have a clearance and even the "bring-up's" (ie. renewing the clearance) takes months to go through the...

    Oracle..Huh?

    Some things you need to look at also is who will be available to maintain the Db/Oracle. Are there Oracle DBAs in the area? What is their salary? Will the need a full-time DBa and if not, are there DBA consultants available and at what cost? You may also want to investigate companies that...

    Oracle log rotation

    Thanks all. I foud out that there is a utility as part of the Application Server pkg - which we didn't buy. I am thinking of setting up a CRON job that copies the listener.log and then saves it to whatever name they want and leave the listener.log alone. I use that file for an Excel...

    Oracle log rotation

    I have been asked by my bss to find an Oracle (or other source) application that rotates Oracle log files (esp listener). He wants the log files rotated, run through a statistical pkg to he can display the data in "pretty pie charts and graphs" via web interface so he (and everyone...

    Hypothetical question....re: careers and money

    Yes, I was not cut out to be a stay-at-home mom either. But I found out that when my kids reached school age, there were a LOT of activities that they could not participate in if I worked. Plus, we had GREAT difficulty finding adequate child care. Years ago, I was making 30K. I figured out that...

    Hypothetical question....re: careers and money

    Besides a 401K, consider starting a Roth IRA account even if it's only $500/year. Think you don't have the money? Just total up how much money you spend in a week at the soda and snack machines. If/when you decide to have kids, I would suggest you have your finances/work structured so, if you...

    Would like to make career change; ie Ecommerce/Web.....

    Check out local colleges. They may have courses on not only e-comerce marketing but on programming. I would suggest you get these courses first. Too many "dot coms" bit the dust because they had no real marketing strategy or viability.

    Hypothetical question....re: careers and money

    Taking the higher paying job BUT use the additional money to...... 1) MAx out any 401K and IRA for retirement (the sooner you start, the better off you'll be later on). 2) Pay off ALL debts including credit card balance, and car. You'd be surprised how low your expenses are when you no longer...

    IT JOBS??

    Well, are you just looking around home or are you willing to relocate elsewhere? That will make a difference. Learn how to NETWORK! No, not the omputer kind but interfacing with people/groups who may have connections to help you get a job. Look for any local computer groups oriented towards...

    Importance of clear code

    I was taught that you should code so that the coding should be intuitively obvious to the most casual observer.

    Want to get into IT, not sure how ...

    JAXDBase - Actually, RAdm/Commodore Grace Hopper was NOT the first female Admiral. Her distinction as an Admiral is because she was retired as a Naval Reserve Captain and then recalled to active duty. Since people on the retired list cannot be promoted, it took a special act of Congress to get...

    88 Levels

    To my knowledge, your coding would only work if the 88 level data names are unique. It cannot tell which size-is-A3 should be set to true. Try making similar but unique names such as 110-size-is-A3 or something. Another way would be to create a separate value with three level 88's with the...

    Small cobol run-time errors, please help

    I would solve the problem of a statement for a prime read AND subsequent reads by having it in its own paragraph. i.e. Perform 400-read-record. Perform 300-process until rcd-eof-flag = "yes". . 300-process. . . . perform 400-read-record. . 400-read-record. read...

    On Backup strategy

    We use archive log mode for both our Dbs. I have noticed no decrease in performance by doing this and feel it is absolutely necessary when you have a Db with a lot of inserts & updates. No archive mode is fine for development OR static tables where the info could be reloaded from flat files if...

    DBA Studio Locks up on Startup

    You need more RAM. 256 will not cut it. Our server had 384 meg memory and had problems even before the Db became operational with "real: data.. Now it's at 1 gig and the recommendation was 3 gig. We figure we'll do okayat 1 gig simply because the queries are so simple. Also, I run DBA...

    HELP

    JUst a guess but could it be that you do not have enough memory on your computer for it to operate? Our server has 1 gig which was the MINIMUM recommended for our setup. I barely worked before (swapping, etc) on 384 meg.

    MIS Degree? Am I wasting my time?

    We have both the BSCS and BS Business (MIS) degrees here. I think when the "demand" is greater than the "supply", both got looked at/ hired. BUT I noticed last spring that companies that previously went after both were now asking only the BSCS people in for interviews. It's...

    CAREER DILEMMA (BS in CS or MS in CS) ???

    I have a BS business also - but old and unused. I have decided to go and get the BS and MS in CS,. At my university, the MS is primarily in-depth theory and the BS was more of the hands-on/applications type courses. At this university, a 2nd BS does not require all the usual elective courses -...
