I've been trying to access OraPerf.com (Anjo Kolk's incredibly useful and, indeed, vital site) for the last day or so with no luck (get a gateway time out error). Does anyone know if it's actually down or should I start kicking our network/firewall bods cos the firewall is playing silly sods, again. Thanks Stephen -- It's better to ask a silly question than to make a silly assumption. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
