Just heard that Stuart Broad has became the fifth bowler of England to take 300 Test wickets.
I actually really like him

I am a big fan of him, too. I particularly like his this[^] over.
I ain't got no signature.

At this rate, I wouldn't fancy having tickets for the 3rd day.
|
|
|
|

I think the Highlights show will have to show the whole thing...and then show it all again just to fill the allotted time slot.
|
|
|

Due to time constraints, the Australia team only played the highlights.

3rd day? It's practically done already!

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I believe the entire Aussie Test Team hove just applied for asylum in the UK in order to avoid certain death...

Good one

England have already made enough runs so they should declare the inning, win the game by today end and go for a 4 day paid vacation.
.AK.
|
|
|
|

They should have declared when they were 100 ahead and put them in again. Finish the game of in one day.

Going from SQL Server to Oracle.
Say goodbye to good tooling.
Say goodbye to civilized (T-)SQL (I think the PL in PL/SQL means Oracle outsourced the language to some cheap Polish labor... (no offence to Polish people)).
Say hello to steep learning curve.
All in all I just miss SQL Server.
Any "surviving Oracle for SQL Server devs" tips or guides?

You might ask the oracle... 
|
|
|
|

They should've called it Miracle instead.
It's a Miracle anyone can get work done with this crap 
I'm sure it'll get better as I figure this out...

Been using oracle at work since the last 7 months, and I feel satisfied.
No idea about

I developed the database of my final year project in SQL server, it was pretty good. But haven't used SQL server on professional level yet.
But yeah it's very difficult to search for the solution of oracle problems on internet, you rarely find anything except the hell lengthy and descriptive oracle documentation, which you just damn hate to read

I moved from SQL Server to Oracle for around 4 years and am back on SQL Server now.
There are differences although the differences are not that big nowadays as SQL Server has come closer to Oracle.
The hardest part for me was discovering that many Oracle developers tend to have a preference for non-ANSI joins.
Get yourself a book on PL/SQL clicketty[^] and you should be fine.

I actually prefer Oracle to SQL Server, hands down. I just wish Oracle was able to integrate with Visual Studio at the same level SQL Server does.
Anyhow, PL SQL is awesome stuff when done correctly, and used correctly.
BTW, you can use Entity Framework with Oracle, you just need to install the Visual Studio tools for Oracle.

For years I used Oracle and SQL Server interchangeably, there are slight differences in certain things (like wildcard character), but otherwise, I really like Oracle.
I strongly recommend Toad[^] for a decent tool to work with Oracle.

+1 for Toad - invaluable !

Yeah, I looked at Toad, but it's not cheap...
My company has their own in-house editor of which they're very proud, so there's no way they're going to buy some external editor.
I didn't like the in-house one though, so I downloaded the free Oracle SQL Developer[^] which is a step in the right direction
