Hi Todd, > Some key decisions you'll have to make: For sure. I can see from the Oracle manuals I've read that there is a serious amount of analysis and design to be done.

Do you know where I can find this documented and explained in more detail? Best Regards, Brian Peasey -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
