Well, tell management to hire two dbas, then have them only know 1/2 of = each password. That way, they have to work together, and we get twice as many jobs. Oh, wait a minute, what if someone gets run over by a bus? That means 4 dbas to do the work of 1, so two dbas know half of each password. :) -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
