Never do it, unsupported Create a custom table to store what ever you want, don't touch the BASE table. Let us know what u finally did :) Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2009 13:28:31 +0530 Subject: Re: Extra Columns to be added in Oracle Base Table From: amit.dhingra77@xxxxxxxxx To: ora-apps-dba@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Yes It's an EBS table (Order Management) WSH_NEW_DELIVERIES there are 15 Attributes, I need to add 5 more. one way is I design a custom table and make the relation with the base table. Other way is I add 5 columns directly to base table and make a custom form, which is easy to do and fast. Only if the same is the right approach. When I am not at all hamering the existing columns why adding extra columns with xxprefix not recommended (If not). Please suggest Regards, Amit On Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 1:15 PM, Jurijs Velikanovs <j.velikanovs@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hi, Saying "one of the oracle base table" are you talking about one EBS tables installed initially?

It is less harmful to create a custom table in you custom schema XX____ as you can't predict any impact on adding new columns to am embedded table. Anything can go wrong starting from patching and future upgrades ending with data corruption.
