My, temporarily, last post on this subject is a link to AskTom: http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f? p=4950:8:3825101693476404515::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,F4950_P8_CRITERIA:115046770 87008, Sorry Stephen (Lee) and Jonathan (Gennick), if you thought you stumbled on something new I have to disappoint you. Others have made the same mistake before. Take solace in the fact that you are not going to be the last ones either. -- regards Wolfgang Breitling Oracle 7,8,8i,9i OCP DBA Centrex Consulting Corporation www.centrexcc.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
