Who is Scott?
One of my former colleagues Nadeera forwarded this mail to me, I wonder how authentic it is?</SPAN>
You must have always wondered why the username / password in SQL is Scott/Tiger....</SPAN>
Who is this Scott? Here is the answer to your query....</SPAN>
So, who is Scott?</SPAN>
Bruce Scott was one of the first employees at Oracle (then Software Development Laboratories). He co-founded Gupta Technology (now known as Centura Software) in 1984 with Umang Gupta, and later became CEO and founder of PointBase, Inc.</SPAN>
Bruce was co-author and co-architect of Oracle V1, V2 and V3.</SPAN>
The SCOTT schema (EMP and DEPT tables), with password TIGER, was created by him. Tiger was the name of his cat.</SPAN>
