Oh quite possibly - I was just using metalink search to try and find
some resources on internal function calls - not being able to find
documents you *know* are there is difficult enough, not being able to
find documents you *don't* know are there is probably par for th
course. Metalink search gives me many rumsfeld moments.

Granted, they are undocumented because Oracle does not want anyone to hack
their software, but surely somebody knows what all those names translate to,
or what they are used for. I have a very curious streak, so while I would
not be able to do anything the knowledge, I simply want to know.
