re: SQL and Oracle Financials

just making the point that the skills required are 'Oracle Financials' and 'sql'

Is that a problem ?

..

I'm certified on SQL Server have a tiny amount p/l sql for oracle and have contracted in the middle office of a bank before .. I was asking the question is this a different version of oracle with its own dialect .. this is surely an innocent and unoffensive question based on the desire to know whether my experience (Bank == financial, oracle == oracle, sql = sql) is anywhere near a match for what you want .. if thats the kind of simple question that inflames such a response form you then you maybe need a holiday or something ..

Oracle Financials

Oracle Financials is an application Oracle sells, somewhat like SAP. The SQL is bog-standard, but clients want someone who knows their way around the tables and functionality of the system.

You are correct - Massively overdue - starts next Friday.

Wasnt meant to be a 'flame' answer although it was rather abrupt, I am afraid I read your response as taking the p*ss. Bone is correct about the package. I have had far too many conversations recently with people who know SQL or Oracle rdbms and therefore think that they will have no trouble 'picking up' Financials as they go along ( a trivial app with only a couple of thousand tables and views, to say nothing of the triggers, libraries, etc)

We have got someone starting Monday, although his opening gambit on being offered the job was to accept then ask to start work at 10am every morning (on a site that starts at 8 )
