HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO USE http://tahiti.oracle.com

What a yoke Mr. Rogerson is, self-appointed 'expert'!



Sybrand, in my opinion he is dead right on this one.

For me, and for others, tahiti is unintuitive and hard
to use (and I've been using it for years)

I routinely use the websites for Oracle, DB2, Informix, and
SQL Server, and Sybase. Tahiti is their equal.
If you don't believe me try this simple test:

Try the search string "CREATE TABLE" at the following:

If you see a significant difference I'd love to hear about it.
Not just I like green better than blue but specific functionality
one has that is significantly better than the other.
