Some of the first batch of Monks and Nuns (the first beer in the Practical Oracle Beer series - www.kibeha.dk/p/practical-... ) is canned and ready to travel to #POUG2025 🍺

Lucky you if you have a ticket - it's sold out.
Be faster next year!

About COMPATIBLE...
These days RU's are full of features, so mikedietrichde.com/2019/04/10/s... isn't as true as it was. I look at mikedietrichde.com/2019/04/17/w... and I'm still in doubt.
Are there other dangers in increasing COMPATIBLE from 19.0.0 to 19.11.0 beside not being able to downgrade?

Select from pipelined table function that returns 1001 columns.
All is good in Oracle 10.1.0.5.0.
After migrating to 10.2.0.5.0, parse of "select *" takes 35 seconds - parse of select few columns is fine.
This is archeology and I can't find anything wrong...
