I suspect having tools push queries to Oracle with whitespace differences is not earth shattering news but will work together a blog post with my results so maybe it will help someone else out there. Interestingly I did also try the OEM screen "Execute SQL" to run the SQL and it did come back with the same SQL_ID as originally reported, so that may be a solution if I am trying to make sure when I re-run SQL I get the same SQL_ID reported. -- Dave Mann www.brainio.us www.ba6.us - Database Stuff - http://www.ba6.us/rss.xml -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
