The quest for linux-oracle-instantclient-sqlplus

I have run across a couple of other ports that required the acceptance of a software agreement and the process was relatively painless, but this one makes up for all that and then some. For hours today, I have been wading through the Oracle web site trying to connect the URL http://www.o

Re: Date representation as YY/DDD or YYYY/DDD
