Corrected entry: When greeted by Tomar-Re on Oa Hal Jordan knows all about Tomar-Re's sector. He now knows the number of galaxies in it and number of inhabitants, because his ring has fed the information to him from its database. Yet, it doesn't make sense the ring's database doesn't seem to have any information about Oa, the green lantern corps or the guardians, and Hal has to ask Tomar-Re.

Correction: It's reasonable to assume that the Green Lantern initiation process specifies that the basic information should be supplied by another member of the Corps, and that only subsequent information can be downloaded straight from the power ring. After all, Hal finds it bizarre enough to suddenly know the information about Tomar-Re's sector - had the ring simply info-dumped the whole thing into his head right from the start, he could have completely freaked out, which could lead to him rejecting the ring entirely. A far more reasonable approach to start with a one-to-one chat, then let the ring do its thing after that.
