Do you prefer to end up this way?

Think about it. I don't want to end up this way. Definitely not....

Few days back we had a discussion on how to build a better team, of which one of the important aspects was communication between the team members. After seeing this article I am getting a strong feeling about it.

There are situations where we don’t even know who the person sitting next to us. Yes that’s true. There could be several reasons for that. He may not be working on the same project on which you are. Or he may be into different technology.

So one argument that rose during our discussion was if the person sitting next to us is not in your team or your project is it necessary to communicate with him (This opinion could differ based on out personal interest). I was taking the "Not necessary side".

So if the person next to you is not in the same team as that of you then the question is why he is next to you? Again there could be several reasons for that. And we may not have control over those reasons.

After seeing this article I am starting to feel it may be "Extremely necessary and important". So I think it’s totally up to us to decide on what to do. The organization can only create the atmosphere for us to mingle with one another but it can make us to.

So I think we are the one who need to decide how much it is important.

How does it work? Does it matter!!!

Ok as my profile says I am an oracle PL/SQL developer!!!

That’s what I do for my living. I write code. That is all I do most of the time. I write some SQL or PL/SQL and throw it into the database. I have never cared about what oracle does with it. Why should I its oracles headache.

To write a SQL all I need to know is the correct syntax. That’s all I don’t need any thing else. Even for that I have SQL Reference to help me. May be in need the ability to think in Set’s. So I know SET... I know what is a JOIN and UNION.

Why should I care what oracle does with the SQL that I submitted. Why do I have to care about how it stores my data or how it gets me what I need? Why... we have the DBA guys to worry about that.

Do you feel the same way as I did? Do you? I hope the answer is not YES if it is then you are going down, down from day one. Yes that’s right!! No second thoughts you are going down... Down to hell!!

Have you heard about Bind Variables? If the answer is NO then you are not going down to hell as you are already living in there.

To know the importance of Bind Variable it’s essential to know how Oracle Works. What it does with the so called sophisticated code that you wrote.

Not only that, we need to know lot more. How the data are organized and stored, how they are retrieved. To put it in one word know the oracle database "Architecture".

A nice place to start with would be here.

I found it easy and interesting to read. The way the author has written is like a story narration. I like stories and "How oracle works" is a great story.

Once you understand all of this you will really come to know how much of your code is actually sophisticated.

So happy reading…
