    Project Orca was supposed to give the Romney campaign a technical advantage over Obama on election day. It got harpooned instead.

    Any remark that I make here would be perceived as anti-Obama or anti-Romney so I will let the article speak for itself.

      Fantastic! What a giggle - Orca fell over when trying to perform an 'overwhelming' number of DB inserts, 1200 a minute - or 20 per second. As someone in the article mentions - even Access can do that! (and easily, I might add) Hilarious on so many levels, but the rate of data-entry at the time of failure makes my day.:jig:
