If you are familiar with Oracle, you must be familiar with Scott. Almost every version has a built-in user with four tables. Log on to Scott/tiger. I once heard a joke, saying that a company is recruiting developers engaged in Oracle. A person who has five years of experience in Oracle development will apply for a job. The examiner will take a question from him, first, ask him to connect oracle. He asked him which user to log on to. The examiner casually said that he was logged on with Scott/tiger. As a result, the compatriot asked the examiner how to spell Scott. The examiner was speechless, the results can be imagined. To avoid making the same mistake in the future, I searched Scott's story on the Internet and found an article, which is reproduced as follows. To learn about Oracle, I must understand it.

Anyone familiar with Oracle or Oracle must be familiar with Scott. Since Oracle's first commercial version, Oracle's default database has all the users whose names are Scott and whose passwords are tiger. What exactly does Scott come from, in our Oracle version, how can this problem be solved.
This is about to be traced back to Oracle's entrepreneurial stage. In June 1977, Accenture, Bob miner, and Ed Oates jointly established a computer company named Software Development Lab (SDL) in Silicon Valley, the three-person Company was the predecessor of Oracle, which later became the dominant database provider. At that time, herison was 32 years old. Heheh, just like me, he was thirty years old. Because of the contract relationship, he could not come out of his original company. Program Personnel. He is always writing.Code The first programmer in the company appeared. His name is Scott, and his cat name is trigger. Maybe it's for this first programmer, as a result, Scott has been a user and has never been forgotten.
In March 1983, RSI released Oracle's third edition, miner and Scott. C Language The development of the third edition was carried out under the high pressure of herison. You must know that, shortly after the C language was launched, it was also risky to use it to write the Oracle software, but there is no other way to do this. It soon proved how correct it was: C compiler is cheap and effective, and has good portability.
However, this third edition is not over yet. Scott left Oracle, and perhaps the endless changes in C development and initial stages left Scott unable to bear. The Bull chose to leave the company and sell his 4% million shares, but after Scott leaves Oracle, he is still confused in the database development market. He founded pointbase, which is a good embedded database, but it seems to be written in Java, I have also used development projects. The Daniel did not think that Oracle, which was written by him in the future, is the database giant in the future, and the 4% is equivalent to several hundred million US dollars.
The times create heroes. The great products of each age are followed by stories of ordinary people with different hero figures. However, they are just so common, but they do not ordinary things.
