Its not a joke and am doing this on test. I remember one incident on LAZYDBAs , where a DBA did programming on USER_ID and then required to change the USER_ID. He did it someway, but I am unable to recollect. There must be the way we can do. ( I think so). I think Mr. Ganesh Raja, replied that answer with 'YES'. Not sure. Its long back. Waiting for some more inputs. Regards - Chirag On 10/1/05, Radoulov, Dimitre <cichomitiko@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > >>> This seems not to be permanent.
