For  a basic SQL question? No. I&#x27;d never even seen an Oracle manual prior to that, and I haven&#x27;t since.<p>If I needed specifics about Oracle, sure. I don&#x27;t expect to ever need that.<p>But the more important aspect was that the full, complete answer to the question we raised took a single, short sentence.  It was not clear from the page he had cut and pasted whether or not he even understood the question, so even if he hadn&#x27;t copied  it without telling us the source we&#x27;d not have considered it an acceptable answer.
