I haven't had any problems in quite a while but I hate to hear they're having these problems that's why I edit my last hope.
New version: WinHeist Version When you have eliminated the JavaScript, whatever remains must be an empty page. Unknown

I've been using Azure (2 Web Applications sharing a sql database) for over 4 months now. I had it all working on the first day with no problems.

If you don't mind me asking how much does that cost you a month? I've been looking to moving to Azure but don't know if they can beat Fasthosts 7 quid a month I'm paying!
If you do mind me asking then just ignore the post

No problem...it's around $70 USD per month. One Web App is Free and the other is in the Basic (Small) plan and runs about $42 and the S1 level SQL Database is about $26.

This is a relief to know, but, I suspected this about myself all along: [^].
I expect further testing to establish that programmers who prefer PhP, Visual Basic, or, Objective C, have a greater percentage of Neanderthal in their genome; of course, I say that with no intent to commit Sapiens-chauvinism.

Furthermore, the team found that his Neanderthal ancestor lived only 200 years before his death.
Only? Only?! I think 200 years is a pretty decent age to die at. :p

Ruby on Rails programmers have the highest. No, strike that, they're a completely different species altogether.

I am told that a lot of us have ADHD but I also think that people that are good at the job are not taught but born.
Nothing wrong with visual basic and it uses the same p-code (Sorry MS calls it MLIC or something else) as C# that i use today. It's the bloated .NET framework that you need as an interface into windows were the trouble starts.

What I want to know is, how Neanderthals got so much of our DNA.

This is really fascinating stuff, anthropologists will have a ball. This means that the Neanderthals didn't actually die out and we are a different subspecies of homo sapiens from those that didn't interbreed with them. They could name us homo sapiens sapiens somewhatneanderthalensis to distinguish us. A hybrid between homo sapiens sapiens phpensis and homo sapiens sapiens mysqlensis could be named homo sapiens sapiens backendis and a hybrid between homo sapiens sapiens csharpis, homo sapiens sapiens pythonensis, homo sapiens sapiens htmlensis and homo sapiens sapiens lispsiensis could be named homo sapiens sapiens multipracticus. A hybrid between homo sapiens sapiens vbsixis and homo sapiens sapiens vbdotnetsis could be dubbed homo sapiens sapiens unluckyensis.

So still doing Oracle development.
Best and fastest SQL database out there if I am to believe the fans.
Tooling isn't so good though...
I'm using Oracle SQL Developer as it's free and provided by Oracle themselves.
So I have this XMLTYPE field and I put in some XML that looks like this:
<Text><p>Bla bla</p></Text> Just a little XML with some encoded HTML, no big deal.
But then I want to show the value and it shows me this:
<Text><p>Bla bla</p></Text> Why is it showing me those >'s???
At first I was thinking I had a bug in my software and I didn't encode the HTML correctly.
Turns out it's a bug in SQL Developer... It views > as >, but leaves < as it is
Thanks Oracle, you're a real help...
A nice moment for this week's poll...

I told you! You should not use JavaScript!!!
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Ask the Oracle for the answer; she knows all!

Many moons ago, I did a bunch of Oracle development with XML columns, and it was:
1) awesome stuff
2) very touchy, even flaky
3) really complicated to figure out
Regarding #2 and #3, ordering of joins and where clauses really affected not just performance, but results!
I'm not sure if they've made any improvements since then, as that particular contract ended a while ago. But I was impressed and it was fun playing with the technology.
And yes, their tooling absolutely sucks. I ended up using a combination of Toad and my own software to work with the database.

That in itself would suggest it does some translations. And on that note, if you dumped that out to STDOUT on a web page it would render properly and not as direct markup on a web page.
Perhaps there's a setting to change that or you can use a VARCHAR type field instead if you don't want translation.

It currently translates half because < isn't shown as <

That's the point, maybe they wanted to keep it STDOUT friendly. Who knows. Or maybe the guys at Oracle get some sorta sadistic kick out of annoying their users.
