Not all questions on forum are OS specific. There are many general (concept) questions. Also such form (as we know from metalink) could cause users to leave to other Oracle forums where they may ask question quick and on one mouse click.<BR/><BR/>>> But actually new folks are always confused and in hurry while posting and they skip the version stuff...<BR/><BR/>Well, after years in IT I learned at least one thing: Measure twice... . There is no room for hurry.<BR/><BR/>Quality of output depends on quality of input. And as IT in most cases is based on I/O and newbies should learn this.<BR/>Many problems were caused because somebody was in hurry.<BR/>That's why I welcome this blog post and I'll paste this link as answer rather than to see some "overcurious" form for new thread on OTN forums.Ivannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21236865.post-32134513828390956762008-07-06T21:20:00.000-06:002008-07-06T21:20:00.000-06:00Thats right too...<BR/><BR/>But actually new folks are always confused and in hurry while posting and they skip the version stuff...<BR/><BR/>I am almost sure...if it wouldn't have been mandatory stuff on metalink while raising a SR, people would miss it there too :)Sidhuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09273877902299393855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21236865.post-67910008903970298642008-07-06T21:04:00.000-06:002008-07-06T21:04:00.000-06:00Somewhat agree. However, if we think about it for a few minutes, there are way too many variations. And the forums tend to go off to 'uncertified' and 'home hobbyist' smoke and mirrors land.Forbrichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16839603129930136268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21236865.post-20123053519060481652008-07-06T19:22:00.000-06:002008-07-06T19:22:00.000-06:00Good !<BR/><BR/>One option i see is, forum itself should be changed a bit to ask for this information just as they do on metalink...Sidhuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09273877902299393855noreply@blogger.com
