Yes, Spain was the better team. "Oranje boven" became "Oranje onder".

You could have gotten this result earlier using the OCTOPUS module (new
in version 11)

SELECT OCTOPUS.get_winner('FIFA', 'FINAL', '2010') as CHAMP from dual;

CHAMP
--------
Spain

Hi Walt,
sorry, but i havn't a version 11. So what is the result of

SELECT OCTOPUS.get_winner('FIFA', 'FINAL', '2014') as CHAMP from
dual;

Are there different results if you change the nls_territory ?

regards
Kay

In order for this to return a result you'd need to increase the size of
the Flash Prognostication Area by specifying values for the following
initialization parameter:

* DB_PROGNOSTICATION_FILE_DEST_SIZE


Unfortunately, in Version 11 you are limited to approximately 7 days of
flash-forward. Perhaps V 12 will allow this level of flash forward, but
I'm not sure. I am certain that the query will return valid results by
the time v13 is out.
