For the past a few weeks, I’ve been replaying final fantasy IX on the playstation emulator epsxe. I really love this game because it’s my very first final fantasy game.

Oracle number data type

I don’t know why I’m always confused. I need to write this down so the next time I wouldn’t be. You may optionally specify the precision/length and scale of the number data type in Oracle i.e. number(9,2). I remembered it as “leading” & “trailing” (the decimal point) which is INCORRECT. As discussed here: Precision =… Continue reading Oracle number data type

Colts' Superbowl loss

I’ve been a Colts fan for ~6 years now. Perhaps more than a Colts fan, I’m a Peyton Manning fan. This year’s Superbowl to me was the matchup I absolutely wanted. #1 seed in the NFC vs #1 seed in the AFC. Can’t be more perfect than that. I also respect Sean Payton and Drew… Continue reading Colts' Superbowl loss
