I suddenly have a much higher opinion of ChatGPT..
August 29, 2025 at 1:16 PM
ZeroGPT agrees with Timor, but ChatGPT leans to "human"..

I'm neutral.. a lot of medium etc, especially when the topic is AI, smells "marketing", "clickbait", "must-produce-for-boss". A lot is just BS.. But even in the BS there can be some nuggets..

lot of AI is trained by BS.
AI-in = AI-out.

Here I am researching my talk for a Conference later this autumn.

And this code, ready to copy + run, pops up.

@pougorg.bsky.social is in a month.
I got my "concept" for prez accepted, but,...
They turned it into a "workshop".

Been thinking about it.
I'll try to make it interesting, with "audience participation" (BYODatabase!).

Thx! my test in screenshot.
pl/sql funct and sql-macro.
col1 and col2: funct-calls.
col3: sql-macro
col4: systimestamp.
Note how the function-values vary, increase, per cell,
and start slightly newer than the systmst and sql-macro.
Macro is atomic and == systimestamp.
maybe blog soon.

Data-processsing the #SmartDB way.

Any processing that can take place "inside the database" should be done Right There.

Bring your code to the data,
do not drag the data out to the code.

With Thanks to #Oracle and the team from @oracleace.bsky.social . Hope to see you at several conferences and online...

You just "invalidated" a series of my test-cases, some dmp-files going back as far as 90s and v8.1.7.
Unsable on Autonomous.

But I could still import one into 23ai (free-version 25.7.0.25.01)(docker image from @gvenzl.bsky.social )

Have to revert to SQLcl and/or dp for saving testcases.

All Good Answers so far. Thx!

Specific case: q+d test where python-function spits out mystats after each test/loop/run, in style of autotrace (screenshot).
Those nrs accumulate in session, unless either re-connect, or subtract, or ... re-Set => 0.
okok, I may code a subtract.
