This cannot be good!
Check out my flight number in the upper left hand corner! UA1555
I can only hope the undo retention period is set properly... See you on the other side.

Yikes! How old is the aircraft? You might be on manually configured and managed rollback segments, circa 7.3.4. ;-)
It took me about 45 seconds to get that joke -- I think that strikes the right balance between too geeky and too dumb.
At least Disney didn't stick any animals on your plane...

I didn't get the joke yet.. it is 2 minutes now and counting... :-)
It took me a second or two. I think I should lie down.
Took me a while but ...
Slow down, you move too fast. You got to make the morning last ...
Thanks! I needed a little humor today.
somebody out there 'unfold' the joke , please
It's good you flew United instead of Oman Regional Airlines. Then I'd be truly worried.
It has 1555 aka "rollback segment too old".
I have to say it's not exactly very readable.
This has opened up a whole new branch of numerology. My usual flight to the UK, BA0218 decodes as ...
ORA-00218 block size string of controlfile does not match DB_BLOCK_SIZE (string)
That can't be good.
Does that make me an Oracle geek if I got the joke at a subsecond response time?
Why yes Alejo, yes it does :D
Does that make me an Oracle geek

It wasn't UA3113 now was it :)
Niall
Err... I may need to take a vacation from work then... But no flight 0600.. oh no, I wont take that flight. ;-)
Niall,
had to look it up:
UA3113 - flies from Chicago to Denver, Denver to Seattle
UA600 - flies from Chicago to (gulp) DCA (one of my two home airports :)
I'll watch for those...
Oh yeah, no UA7445 as far as I could tell
I got it right away. Is it a long flight??
Man that's geeky! :-)
From Dulles to Orlando is about 1 and 3/4ths hours, not very long at all
Yeah... expect a "long running" flight from that one. Good luck Tom. :-)
The javascript hotel. You can check in, but don't use your dialup on the phone.
So, technically if you were on UA3113, would you feel obligated to miss the connecting flight in Denver?
How appropriate is it that UA1578 flies from TPA to IAD?
Then there's DL-60 from Rio de Janeiro to Atlanta...
If it were to exist I'm sure that flight 0000 would be everyone's first choice...
Bugger. I was on QA600 a while back. I could have milked that for all I was worth. And it *was* a bumpy flight, too!
LOL!!
I'm think'n someone needs to spend more time with thier wife!
Or, get a girlfriend.
You guys kill me.
My last flight was on AY096 and the next one will be on SQ351...
- invalid value string for parameter string, must be from among string
- Recover-to time invalid
Yep, sounds about right based on previous trips :p
Guess this could happen only to you! Hope you did not have to return back to Dulles! Airport too old :)
- ever been in in a bar where people seem to get 28836 permanently?
Oracle geek...
When your kids go to the table at dinner time, and your wife complains that they didn't wash their hands, and your first taught is "why didn't they trigger fired ?". then you are really an Oracle Geek
:)
Wouldn't a 600 or 3113 flight be those flights where you go from NYC to Philly and your luggage ends up in Rome somehow?
before dinner trigger
that was a good one !
is it a family level or for each child ?
i'd probably put it at the family level
ROTFL!! I got it right away, only because I've seen way too many of those errors in my career as a DBA. Definitely can't be the geek reason. Now if it were a blonde joke, that would be a different story.
Paul,
28836, 00000, "Wallet is not open."
// *Cause: The wallet to be used has not been opened yet.
// *Action: Call the function that opens the wallet.
Unfortunately, yes :-(
Hillarious. God, geeks are fun.
I think that means it's time for a vacation....
-Alex
LOL. I guess I'm a geek, I got it immediately. Glad you didn't get rolled back in flight.
Glad you didn't get rolled back in flight.
And who knows if it was a restartable flight, plus the number of concurrent flights during the day would've forced you to restart the flight during off hours, or at least size your budget according to your flight's maximum possible length... sorry, couldn't resist.
My next flight - 201:
00201, 00000, "control file version %s incompatible with ORACLE version %s"
// *Cause: The control file was created by incompatible software.
// *Action: Either restart with a compatible software release or use
// CREATE CONTROLFILE to create a new control file that is
// compatible with this release.
Oh boy, that can't be good... ;)
