A challenge indeed, and learn from our mistake, not Oracle 10g, Oracle
10.1.x, no don't get clever and think that 10.2 sounds like a good idea,
because it isn't, it's very broken, your dba may tell you that 10.2 is a
better product which clears up some important issues from 10.1 but
ignore them, BB won't work, and you'll just end up destroying the
database, reinstalling it, and re-running your import, and hiding from
your users.....

The myth that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armor to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led them into it in the first place, and continues to do so today.
