1 person recommends this.

Why would you want to drill down to another query rather than simply including the other query’s information in this query? Perhaps not every unique value, be it a student, staff member, or customer, may have values that exist in the other query; or perhaps they have multiple. There are ways to include multiple values of a field in one field in your query, but another way to accomplish this is to drill down to that other query for the specific student, staff member, or customer of interest. Add an expression of ...

Searching for students for Oracle's Student Advisory Groups!

By Joyce Kim posted 08-29-2022
Be the first person to recommend this.
When I was getting my Ph.D., I taught college courses for five years. While I was ostensibly the subject expert in the room, each student in each course brought their own interpretations and perceptions about Modernist poetry or Victorian novels or Elizabethan-era tragedies.

That experience of collaborating with students is one of the reasons I advocated for creation of a student-focused advisory group, which we kicked off with the Oracle Student Financial Planning (SFP) Advisory Group last year. ...
