Ilan, do you participate in the LUG at NCSU? I don't recognize your name, but that's not indicative of much; I'm not good with names.

You speak of dissatisfaction with the state of the LUG, but whenever we ask for input as to what we could do to serve the needs of Linux users on campus more thoroughly, there's a dull silence and the sound of crickets. It's a serious problem; the LUG is quickly succombing to atrophy, with fewer and fewer members. We really want to grow, and to be a more inclusive group, but the people who are (supposedly) being excluded don't appear to be making any effort towards inclusion. What can we do?

Perl's DBI API sucks
Python's DBI API sucks

Oracle has the right idea for transactions; a transaction is a child of a connection, and a statement is a child of that. Perl and Python both assume that a connection is a transaction, and that really sucks.

Oracle sucks

OCIServerAttach() allocates some memory; its reciprocal function, OCIServerDetach(), frees 344 bytes less. That's right -- if you make a connection to Oracle, you're excersizing a memory leak.
