Hi Everyone – It’s been a long time since Oracle had our last deployment and we need to keep the rust from setting in so mark this on your calendar. This is a weekly recurring meeting thru March.
Oracle application is moving thru the environments over the next few weeks. As always this meeting is an open forum for TCO group, application development teams, DBA’s, testing groups, and anyone else with an interest in Orace and/or ORAL database changes. During this meeting we will
Review open issues
Discuss ORACLE timeline and project status
Discuss impacts to other applications
Discuss testing efforts
Coordinate weekend deployment activities
Etc
Attached please review the two (2) files – first is the complete list of database changes for this release, second is a listing of the new database changes that were identified since our last communication. Please take a minute to look these over and communicate any impacts to your application.

Metaphors
In a metaphor, a term or expression is used in a non-literal sense in order to suggest a similarity. Many non-native speakers understand common metaphors. For example, the following metaphors are common in speech and are seldom thought of as being metaphorical:
▸ Ahandful of companies have refined VCSEL technology so that it is cheaper, faster, and more versatile.
▸ The topic was tabled until more input could be obtained from Marketing.
Nevertheless, translation is easier if you stick to literal uses of language:
A few companies have refined VCSEL technology so that it is cheaper, faster, and more versatile.
The topic was postponed until more input could be obtained from Marketing.
Uncommon metaphors add zest to your writing, but they baffle non-native speakers, and they are very difficult to translate:
The new model was designed to overcome the limitations of the vanilla CALS model.
The new model was designed to overcome the limitations of the standard CALS model.
You must install the Java plug-in on client machines before running applets that require it. This requirement is palatable for installed products or intranet solutions, but the price may be too high for some thin-client reports.
If you use a Java plug-in, then you must install the plug-in on client machines before running applets that require it. This requirement is not a problem for installed products or intranet solutions, but you might want to use a different approach for some thin-client reports.

Colloquialisms
Colloquialisms are words or phrases that are acceptable in casual speech but not in formal speech or writing. They contribute to unnecessary variation and are not appropriate for global communication. Here are some examples:
A multicast is kind of like the packet types that were discussed in Chapter 2.
