Re: cdump, bdump, udump

Sinardy,

I don't know if you've got access to Metalink, so why don't you go to the following URL:

        http://otn.oracle.com/index.html

If you click on the membership link at the top right portion of the page, follow the instructions to sign up. It's free, they've never spammed me, and I haven't received any junk mail as a result of giving them the minimal information they request.

Once you've signed up, there is a whole host of information and free stuff available, including ALL the documentation we've been talking about here.

Hope this helps.
