💡 Tip: Working with lots of different databases and don't want to accidentally drop a table in your PROD Oracle system? PS if you've never done this, you've probably not been in IT for very long #riteOfpassage Use emojis in your connection names 🔴 🟡 🟢 Tip 2: STAY OUT OF PRODUCTION :)

Jeff I have worked using Oracle since 1990, and have appreciated some of your posts, but what I meant is it's no longer relevant to me as my career has come to an end. Given Larry Ellison's recent sucking up to authoritarianism and his fascist pals, I'm not sad to be leaving it behind. Good luck.

BTW, as far as I recall, I never have dropped a production table in error, though an early experience with accidentally doing rm -rf $HOME probably taught me a lesson. (In the unlikely event that Ros sees this post, I did not like many things you said, but I did not intentionally delete your home.)

With your keyboard? Just type or paste the character The worksheet tabs are files in vscode, so they're named by content or by you. You'll see the connection label in the bottom right, and also when your'e changing connections for a file/worksheet.

I tried your tip with the red and green emoji dots. Unfortunately I think now that one connection is offline and the other online. 😁
