THINK and UNDERSTAND before you give “advice”

One tag. Rant.

Every now and then when I’m on the OTN forums, I run into gems like this: https://community.oracle.com/thread/3589607

The problem isn’t the question – it’s the “answer” which is both mind-blowingly wrong on so many levels and ends with the usual childish “Gimme points, I crave attention!” footer. I’m not going to go into details on the technical solution since that’s covered in my response to the thread itself, but let me just make one thing clear:

Use content from a presentation like Jeff’s without thinking just to – wrongly – “prove” your point and you will tick me off. Seriously.

Why did Jeff include the 1=1 join option? Did you see that it was an option and not the ultimate answer ® ? Do you even know what a content level is?
