Line 8:
An Oracle database installation traditionally comes with a default [[schema]] called ''scott''. After the sample tables have been created, the user can log into the database with the user ''scott'' and password ''tiger''. These names come from Bruce Scott who was one of the first employees at Oracle (then Software Development Laboratories). Tiger was the name of his cat.
