Thanks Dennis > What are you looking for? I recently received a questionary about java usage, Then I saw there was not too much sites about java for dbas specifically, you try to find something interesting for java, and you find a lot for application server, things I really don't understand, and I still don't need to understand; and I was thinking on tricks on java for dbas like call operating system executables, etc. etc. (other than asktom.oracle.com) :) -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
