Good News

2:8 And there were in the same country Oracle users abiding in the ICN, keeping watch over their data by night.

2:9 And, lo, the angel of the DBA came upon them, and the glory of Oracle shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all Oracle users.

2:11 For unto you is installed this day on Troi an Application, which is FACTOR v2.01.00.

2:12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the Application wrapped in a shell script, lying in /usr/local/bin.

2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising Oracle, and saying,

2:14 Glory to Oracle in the highest, and in the ICN no crashes, good will toward users.

2:15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the Oracle users said one to another, Let us now go log on to Troi, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the DBA hath made known unto us.

2:16 And they came with haste, and found Oracle programmers, and the application installed on Troi.

2:17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this application.

2:18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the Oracle users.

2:19 But the Oracle programmers kept all these things, and pondered them in their hearts.

2:20 And the Oracle users returned, glorifying and praising Oracle for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
