Santa Mufasa is dead 1

[Thargy]

Gents,

it is with regret that I have to report the demise of one SantaMufasa.

The erstwhile Oracle DBA par excellence shuffled off this mortal coil recently.

Forensic examiners, (who investigated the cause of death), said that Mr Mufasa (known as Dave to cognoscenti) had expired as a result of being buried alive in purple stars.

Detectives are now pursuing Mr. Mufasa's internet "buddies" to see who was responsible for the 'final' purple star. Officers in charge of the ongoing criminal investigation have said that they are willing to pursue fugitives across the Atlantic, and that no tablespace will be left uncoalesced, no script unverified, and no datum unconstrained, in their indefatigable efforts to bring the culprits to justice.

Regards

Tharg, you're a very, very naughty boy!!

Would be giving Santa another purple star here be inappropriate?

Thanks,

Purple Star": No. "Purple Heart": Under the circumstances, Maybe.

And I believe John (Tharg) may have missed his calling in life as a Funeral Director (or at least an Obit Writer for the newspaper.)

I was in shock when I saw the title, Thanks be to oracle that it wasn't true. This posting is the perfect end to a long week and was much appreciated. Tharg, have a purple star for originality.

Beilstwh,

thanks more than I can say.

This is my first ever star for a non-technical post - yippee.

What triggered my saga, was a return to Tek-tips after an illness. Just about every new thread had been answered by santa, with his usual "here's a perfect script I just happen to have lying about" etc. I thought "sheesh, give us lesser mortals a chance Dave".

I think Santa should start with a handicap each month, say 10 purple stars before his name is even allowed on the leader board? What say ye all?

Thank you

Tharg
