Re: How to spool output of PL/SQL procedure/function to file?
Michel, Ana, that's another thing I've learnt today. I never thought about it, I must admit. I always had the reflex to link SQL with a 4000 byte limit on character variables. Michel, do you have references on MetaLink that document this behavior?

A Review of Online Photo Services
"Some time ago, I switched to Google's Picasa Web Albums online photo management software. Although it's simple to use, Picasa Web has been missing too many features for too long, and after Google locked me out of their software for a few days due to a bug of some sort, and their iPhoto plug-in stopped working, I decided it was time to start checking out the alternatives. I have played with a few services, and judged them based on a number of criteria. I've tested the following services: Picasa Web Albums, Flickr, Zoto, Zooomr, SmugMug, Photobucket, Facebook, and MySpace. Read on for my initial results."

Study Shows Greater Voting Errors With E-Voting
Whenever we point to problems with e-voting systems, there are always some who respond by pointing out (correctly) that there are problems with the old paper ballot system as well, and the e-voting system must be better. Not so far. Jose Luis Campanello writes in to let us know that a study in France found that when compared to traditional paper ballots e-voting systems showed more errors. There were definitely voting discrepancies in both cases, but it was significantly more noticeable with e-voting systems. The study also found that it wasn't just an issue of pollworkers being unfamiliar with the e-voting machines that led to so many problems at e-voting stations. That's because the problems didn't get better as pollworkers became more familiar with the machines -- and there wasn't a correlation between sites where there were more complaints concerning how to use the machines and the discrepancies. Once again, we're left wondering why we've been so quick to rush into e-voting when there's so much evidence that it's neither accurate nor reliable?

What is the importance of personal development for the employee?
Nowadays, more and more people concentrate on personal development in many different areas. CPDCPD (Continuous Professional Development) is a well known programme that can maintain, improve and broaden your employee's knowledge and skills and develop the personal qualities required in their professional lives.
For professional business service suppliers including accountants, finance professionals, tax professionals and others it is essential. It is the key to optimizing a person's career opportunities, both today and for the future.
The Credit crunch has brought negative effects for many companies meaning they need to cut costs to survive. But Cutting CPD costs is however not a good method to help your business as it will reduce your ability to compete.
CPD is a positive method to encourage your employees to upgrade and learn new skills through training courses and it can make sure employees have increased abilities to compete. They improve their personal performance and therefore enhance the company's competitiveness for the foreseeable future. It is like a chain reaction.
Park Seminars is one of the UK's leading providers of CPE and Professional Development courses and supply nationally recognized speakers at affordable prices, all of whom have day-to-day practical experience. They also offer discounts for multiple bookings of seminars.
