I have a new job.  I gave notice last Friday and told my co-workers on Monday.  I will miss my old employer; they&#8217;ve treated me well and given me interesting work.  However, my new employer offers new challenges for me (technical [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[PS_EMPLOYMENT used to be a SQL table.  Now it is a SQL view that joins PS_PER_ORG_ASGN, PS_PER_ORG_INST, and PS_JOB.  Of course, PS_JOB has two subselects to pick a single value of EFFDT and EFFSEQ for each value of EMPL_RCD.  The subselect for EFFDT is unusual and it may not behave the way the designers intended.

		<description><![CDATA[Some people use the term &#8220;rounding error&#8221; to indicate that an answer is right enough, although not perfectly right.  Those people think &#8220;accurate&#8221; and &#8220;precise&#8221; are two different concepts.  They may be experimental scientists or programmers, but they aren&#8217;t working in Accounting.  Accountants cannot and should not leave journal entries alone with rounding errors.

We anticipate that our applications will run more reliably, perhaps faster, and maybe with a few new features. The chore that nobody likes, though, is checking for Oracle&#8217;s changes that affect the Peopletools objects we have customized.
