Re: "sub"sequence generator problem

So use a sequence per client. |
Sorry to say, but that is, to put it mildly, a strange advice. You're telling him to create a database object for every new entry in the clients-table, thus forcing him to use dynamic sql (to use the correct sequence) for the orders-trigger.
Review: 'Hot Ghetto Mess' tepid, tired (AP)
AP - If you truly want to see the definition of a hot ghetto mess, turn on VH1 on any given Sunday and watch one of the endless reruns of "Flavor of Love" or any of its other spinoffs and variations. Chances are, you'll be thoroughly educated and offended (and, shamefully, entertained).

Three MythTV Linux distros compared
My Series 1 TiVo is getting old, so I am planning an escape route based on MythTV, a free software system that turns an old computer into a personal video recorder. This week I tested three MythTV-specific Linux distributions: KnoppMyth, MythDora, and MythBuntu. I found MythDora the best overall fit for my needs -- but there are important distinctions between the three that may lead you to a different decision.

IOC Agrees To Internet Blocking At Olympics
The Chinese government confirmed Wednesday what journalists arriving at the lavishly outfitted media center at Beijing had suspected: contrary to previous assurances by Olympic and government officials, the Internet will be censored during the upcoming games. Since the Olympic Village press center opened Friday, reporters have been unable to access scores of Web pages - politically sensitive ones that discuss Tibetan succession, Taiwanese independence, the violent crackdown of the protests in Tiananmen Square and the sites of Amnesty International, Radio Free Asia and several Hong Kong newspapers known for their freewheeling political discourse.
On Wednesday - two weeks after its most recent proclamation of an uncensored Internet during the Summer Games - the International Olympic Committee quietly agreed to some of the limitations, according to Kevan Gosper, chairman of the IOC press commission, Reuters reported. Gosper said that he regretted the limitations but that "IOC officials negotiated with the Chinese that some sensitive sites would be blocked on the basis they were not considered Games related."
