The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

oracle, duplicate, 9i, records

Hi Folks,

      We recently migrated from Oracle 8i to Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.0.1.1.1. We have various users having different schemas objects and the users access the database via Forms having different privileges etc. For the past few months, we have noticed that most of our records/rows in certain tables have duplicated in such a way that each row is not duplicated fully meaning that all of the columns in row do not duplicate, say if we have eight columns in a particular record then only 7 columns will be duplicated and the last column will be null. This is happening in few tables and we are pretty sure that our users are not using the duplicate record option from the Form Menu. Since the rows are not duplicated fully we cannot delete the duplicate records using the rowid option.

      Could this be some sort of setting in the database regarding the record duplication or is there some kind of a bug?


TIA
