Ambiguity

“There is no space problem.”

If you saw this comment in the middle of a thread about some vaguely described Oracle problem, which of the following would you think was the intended meaning:

    There is a problem – we have no space.
    We do not have a problem with space

Wouldn’t it make life so much easier to choose between:

    We are not seeing any Oracle errors.
    We are seeing Oracle error: “ORA-01653: unable to extend table X by N in tablespace Z”

(That’s just one of many possible space-related errors, of course.)
