oraclise 

The process of over-complicating a simple database design to within an inch of it's life. Typical knock on effects include :-
a) delaying project delivery dates by weeks/months
b) an oversized ego of the database designer who done the oraclising
c) general hatred towards the database designer who did the oraclising

All I wanted to do was add 5 values to a combo box but that jumped up DBA had to oraclise it.

The process of over-complicating a simple Oracle database design to within an inch of it's life. Typical knock on effects include :-
a) delaying project delivery dates by weeks/months
b) an oversized ego of the database designer who done the oraclising
c) general hatred towards the database designer who now has an oversized ego

All I wanted to do was add 5 combo box values into a pre-defined type/value table but that "prick of a jumped up DBA" decided to oraclise it.
