I like to know who I am following. If you post less frequently, I'm more likely to miss your tweets altogether. My post was aimed at people who wonder why more people don't follow them, or why I don't. The bio is more important than the pic I suppose. I like to know who I am following.

If so, please ignore my comments... To each his/her own, I guess - but what has my photo, my bio, my blog or anything else got to do with it? If you like what I write on Twitter, follow me. If you don't want my drivel polluting your feed, don't follow me. That's what I do to everyone else :) Personally, I prefer to follow people who post infrequently - because when they DO post, it's usually interesting. Quantity has an inverse relation to quality, I find. That reminds me, there's a few people I need to unfollow...

I do not do #teamfollowback or any of that garbage. I usually look for an actual avi (no eggs), bio, and then I check the last 20 tweets. If you never engage on Twitter with anything other than links, I don't even bother. Great post! P.S. Thanks for mentioning my post. I never realized it would get the attention it did, but I am thrilled! You are right on all accounts. I do not do #teamfollowback or any of that garbage.

Depending on what your needs are, you could probably accomplish what you want via views and the proper privs. I think <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/network.112/e16543/vpd.htm#i1008336" rel="nofollow">this Oracle Docs topic</a> might give you some benefits of going the VPD route - in particular the note regarding flexibility.

Similar abstraction be done by views and we provide grants on views to user(here scott). allowing only specific columns or filering specific rows. ? being a newbie please pardon my ignorance, what is the difference between VPD’s and Views in this scenario.

As I say on E-mail, restriction to 960 000rows is for my version Toad10.1 and Office2010 , but for me is OK. I understand that version Toad 10.5 can export more then 1milion rows. This documentation is very useful! Thank you. I export with Instance Excel and is faster, 960 000 rows in only one page of Excel.

If empty, have you tried hitting the 'Reset' button? This will re-generate the anon block script for executing your PL/SQL code.
