Hello,
Sorry if this is a very basic question, but i couldn't find good information about it. In other databases, you normally define your ouwn ID, an integer. Oracle 8i already has a ROWID. Using this ROWID should be faster if i have to believe the docs.
Should i use this ROWID in the tables or not? Any experiences? Which characters can be contained in this ROWID? Does it give problems if i have to pass rowid's as parameters in servlets or cgiscripts? Is it possible that it contains chars like ' " / ? \

Thanks in advance for any help, Received on Thu Jul 27 2000 - 10:05:19 CDT
